Tucked away at the end of a winding series of stone steps and terraces you will find the Thuya Gardens overlooking Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island, Maine. The Harbor itself is a beautiful shelter for sailboats and power boats but the Garden proved to be the bigger prize. Very few people know about it and I was lucky to have a painting buddy who was familiar with the location. Azaleas, Dahlias, and Lillies are just some of the many flowers that are arranged among the granite outcroppings in the quiet, secluded garden. This was a surprising change from the rugged cliffs along the Acadia coastal path.
