Reviews of the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
Google Visitor Review Score 4.8/5 Stars
Don’t take our word for how genuinely super these gardens are. Here is what visitors to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens had to say:
“A magical place with a whimsical setting, acres on acres of beautiful plants and nature not to mention the coolest display of art with their collection of hand built trolls.”
“Maine has the most beautiful and elaborate botanical gardens I have ever visited.
I came in the summer where they had a large variety of plants.
“Such a fun place! All 5 trolls are spread out across the botanical garden. After finding as many as you like, the museum and gift shop are a great place to browse.”
