Summary
| Description |
Taken earlier today in Thuya Garden located in Northwest Harbor, Maine on Mt. Desert Island best known as the site of Acadia National Park. The butterfly is resting on a small flower that is hidden by the wings from this angle. The Thuya Garden, in Northeast Harbor, Maine, was created by landscape designer Charles K. Savage in 1958, shortly after he created nearby Asticou Azalea Garden (see this earlier post). However, where Asticou Azalea Garden is styled after a Japanese stroll garden, Thuya has a completely different feel. Here, Savage gave a nod to the English style of gardening when he created an artful blend of semi-formal herbaceous borders framed by native eastern woodlands. Like Asticou, some of the impetus to create Thuya can be attributed to Savage's efforts to save a part of the collection of plants belonging to landscape architect, Beatrix Farrand when her Reef Point estate in Bar Harbor, Maine was dismantled in 1956. Many of the original trees and plants in Thuya today were purchased from Reef Point and when you walk through the garden you can feel the influence of Beatrix Farrand as well as Gertrude Jekyll, the English gardener she most admired. |
