It seems as thought it’s suddenly winter. Not only did we get our first winter weather last night, but the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens opens “Gardens Aglow” this Thursday.
Garden’s Aglow has been named by USA Today as one of the top 10 Botanical Garden Holiday Lights.
The magic begins as darkness falls Join us to experience the brilliance of New England’s biggest and brightest light display! With over 650,000 lights, witness the transformation of our central gardens into an extravaganza of festive lights in a dramatic display of brilliant color. This year, we’re taking our dramatic display to new heights, incorporating—for the first time—our magnificent sculpture exhibit, Unearthed, by artist Steve Tobin.

They’re closed on Thanksgiving and they’re open every day from December 19th through New Years Eve with the exception of Christmas Eve, when they’re closed. This page has their full calendar.

We’ve had several calls asking if our hotel is open during Gardens Aglow. We’re not open this year but we’re seriously considering keeping Wiscasset Woods Lodge open through the holidays next year.
