Asticou Azalea Garden showcases an array of unique spots within this stunning Northeast Harbor garden, which draws inspiration from traditional Japanese design. The garden features azaleas, winding paths through lush landscapes, vibrant green moss, and numerous tranquil areas, all awaiting your visit on Mount Desert Island, Maine, adjacent to Acadia National Park.
Sea of White Waves to Dancing Light
This is a beautiful collection of nine photos, beginning with a section of Asticou Azalea Garden that clearly exhibits the influence of a Japanese strolling garden. In the first two images, the meticulously raked white sand symbolizes the sea, with the lines representing waves. The large rocks symbolize islands within the sea. Four of the images capture a captivating area filled with green moss and ferns, nestled among evergreen trees. One particularly special image, magical to experience in person, shows the ground blanketed with white flower petals illuminated by dancing rays of light. Additionally, there are granite stepping stones across the stream and some blooming azaleas.
