Spring break arrives just as the Gardens begins to wake—and while we’re not officially open for the season just yet, Earth Day week offers an opportunity to step inside and experience those first signs of spring 🌱

Earth Day Family Walk (ages 3–10) on Thursday, April 23, where families can enjoy the early blooms together and get a sneak peek of the Gardens before we open in May. We’ll head out on a “signs of spring” scavenger hunt, plant flower seeds to grow at home, and welcome you to stay and picnic or explore a bit longer at your own pace. (Please note: the Children’s Garden buildings, Café, and Visitor Center will not yet be open.)

If you’re looking to deepen that connection to the season, there are a few more ways to join us throughout the week. On April 22, Intro to Nature Journaling offers a quiet, creative way to notice the landscape as it begins to change. On April 24, Starting Seeds Indoors brings you into the hands-on beginnings of the growing season. And on April 26, Spring Herbal Self-Care explores simple, plant-based practices rooted in the season.

This summer in Maine, take a road trip through the Midcoast’s best seaside towns, lobster wharfs, and lighthouses. Stop at Shaw’s Fish & Lobster Wharf in New Harbor for a lobster roll with harbor views, or head to Five Islands Lobster in Georgetown for fresh catch right on the dock. Boothbay Lobster Wharf and Lobsterman’s Wharf in East Boothbay serve simple, local seafood with boats moving in and out nearby, while Holbrook’s Wharf in Harpswell keeps a quiet, old-school feel. Robinson’s Wharf on Southport adds wide island views to the experience. Along the way, visit Owls Head Lighthouse, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde, and walk the long breakwater out to Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse for some of the best coastal views in the state.
