What a wonderful card one of our library volunteers received recently from her granddaughter!

05/09/2026

We are pleased to offer again this year a wonderful opportunity for Readfield Community Library cardholders to enjoy the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay for FREE! This pass program is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Readfield Community Library. Please send a message, call the Library at 207-685-4089, or email [email protected] to reserve a date. The pass is good for up to 2 adults and 10 children. Gardens are open May 1 through October 19.

If it’s your first visit—or even your fifth—a guided tour is one of the best ways to experience the Gardens.

Free tours are offered daily at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., making it easy to build into your plans. A Highlights Tour is a great way to get oriented, especially if you’re new to the gardens.

For a deeper look, specialty tours like the Wetlands Hike or Let’s Talk Biodiversity Tour explore specific landscapes and ecosystems in more detail.

Pre-registration is recommended for specialty tours. https://www.mainegardens.org/visit/plan-your-visit/tours/?utm_source=FacebookPost&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Education&utm_content=Tours
