1. Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay Harbor, Maine

19.12.21 Gardens Aglow at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens

I treated my friend Missy and her daughter, Vickie, to an evening of Gardens Aglow at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay Harbor on Winter Solstice, December 21, 2019. It is New England’s biggest and brightest light display. Over 650,000 energy efficient LED lights decorate the central gardens and buildings. Started in 2015 with 40,000 viewers in 26 days, and over 90,000 viewers in 2016, Gardens Aglow is a major winter tourist attraction for the Boothbay Harbor area. For information about and to make reservations for Gardens Aglow, please go to mainegardens.org
The first stop of our tour was the greenhouse lit like the northern lights. A lit moose in a pond greeted us as we strolled toward the gardens where sculptures and flora are decorated with lights. Small fairy houses decorated the gardens. Hot drinks and a large scale model train set can be found at the Borsage Education Center. All three of us made it across the rope bridge in the tree house.
