We are no longer open to the public.

We sell a selection of perennials through local retail outlets specializing in Hostas, Daylilys, and edible perennials, but have shifted in a major way to food production and preservation in an attempt to keep food as "local" and GMO free as possible. (GMO - genetic crop modification -- a really bad idea!)

Although not formally certified as "organic", no pesticides are used in this garden, and no sewage sludge is used anywhere. We don't care to live around toxic chemicals, and the plants do fine without them. Horse dressing is used as mulch, and large amounts of leaves and grass clippings are worked into the soil each year in an effort to practice natural, sustainable gardening. As a result, Carolyn calls the garden a "Bug Sanctuary", and a "Worm Farm". The "Food Chain" is uninterrupted. The balance of "bug eat bug" is kept, and the plants thrive. Our growing flock of chickens provides eggs and excellent bug contol.

Winters in Maine offer time to rest, and enjoy artistic work that can't be done in Summer when weeding and meeting garden visitors is the first priority.

Each creation is a unique, everlasting collage of nature's flowers and moths preserved in an oak shadow-box frame.
