Posted Sept 30, 2024
This will be our final listing for the 2024 visitor season of “What’s in Bloom at the Wild Gardens of Acadia”
Rest assured, the gardens will continue its regular hours and operations. There’s just one more plant that’s expected to bloom this season, witch hazel, which may take a few more weeks yet.
Special thanks to Geneva Langley and all of her dedicated helpers who work tirelessly to make the gardens such a special place to visit.
