If you find yourself in the Mid-coast region of Maine, here are two recommendations:
The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay Harbor are fantastic, especially the Children's Gardens, which just opened July 8th, including Pole Bean Olympics, refreshing spray from the blowholes of 'whale rocks,' a sculpture inspired by Robert McCloskey's
Blueberry's for Sal, and lots more!
Just 15 miles to the northeast of the gardens is a quilt shop I hadn't visited before,
Alewives (beautiful website, eh?) in Damariscotta Mills - lots of bright, fresh fabric from Kaffe Fassett, Anna Maria Horner, Amy Butler,
Julie Paschkis, and more. I'll definitely have to visit again! (The
fish ladder restoration project in Damariscotta Mills is also worth a look.)
