A Troll Hunt in Maine

By Linda Tancs

Boasting nearly a mile of tidewater shoreline, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay is New England’s largest botanical garden. You’ll find more than 300 acres of gardens and natural spaces featuring both ornamental and themed gardens like a children’s garden and sensory gardens. But the scene stealers may very well be the giant trolls found throughout the native, natural wooded areas. Designed by a Danish artist, they’re composed of recycled wood and other materials like oak bark and tree roots. It’s about a 3-mile hike to see all five trolls, which tower above the forest at about 20 feet.
