Asticou Azalea Garden

The Asticou Azalea Garden shows some resemblance to a Japanese stroll garden but one that was designed for a coastal Maine setting. The garden is meant to inspire serenity and reflection and creates an illusion of space – of lakes and mountains and distant horizons. The garden is open seven days per week during daylight hours from May through October.

Reviewed By Copperman1 - Baltimore, United States

This small garden, approximately 2-3 acre is surrounded by a Japanese styled bamboo and cedar fence creating a quiet, contemplative spot right next to the busy road that surrounds it. The garden features manicured lawns, rock and gravel paths, a large sand and rock garden, several water features with seating situated in secluded nooks and many beautiful sculptures and Japanese stone lanterns. A donation is suggested upon entry.

Asticou Terraces / Thuya Garden

Thuya Garden was built in 1956 with plants obtained from Beatrix Farrand’s Reef Point Garden in Bar Harbor. It is a semi-formal herbaceous garden in the style of English landscape designer Gertrude Jekyll. The garden is comprised of approximately 50% perennials and 50% annuals. Thuya Lodge includes a botanical library and educational exhibits. Asticou Terraces is a series of 200 granite steps, paths and shelters traversing the hillside from Peabody Drive up to Thuya Lodge and the Garden.

We went on an overcast fall day. We had the terrace to ourselves. The numerous granite steps are hard to climb; definitely for the hardy & physically fit (no wheelchair access). Would not recommend for small children. For those able to climb, the views of the harbor below are breathtaking. Pausing in the lower pavilion was so peaceful with the wind gently blowing through the trees. We only made it part way up before returning to the parking lot & driving 1/4 mile further to the very narrow entrance row. Locals love coming here before the tourist season to enjoy when spring flowers are in full bloom. The entrance has carved wood gates. Fall flowers were beginning to fade, but there were enough for us to enjoy. Signs identify each plant. Had a nice chat with two of the gardeners. Didn't go in the lodge this visit. There is a $5 donation which is very low for what you see. Check out the various places to sit & rest. There is also a gate that leads to Mt Eliot trail. The gardens are wheelchair accessible. Will return to see the garden in different seasons.
