BAR HARBOR With over 400 species of native plants, mimicking the flora and fauna found within Acadia National Park, the Wild Gardens of Acadia is waking up from its winter slumber.
Normally open year-round, the gardens took a break during the winter as COVID-19 restrictions continued, but the doors opened this past weekend to welcome visitors for its 60th season.
“Wild, but tended,” is how gardener Geneva Langley describes the roughly one-acre parcel that boasts 13 different micro habitats ranging from mountain to meadows. There are at least 22 species of ferns within the garden and there is always something blooming from spring to fall.

Volunteering looks different in a pandemic April 9, 2021 on Lifestyle
MOUNT DESERT ISLAND Over the last year, nonprofit organizations on the island have had to adjust their volunteering practices in response to the pandemic.
Many organizations lost a large percentage of their volunteers, many of whom were in the virus’s more vulnerable age categories. Other organizations saw a surge in volunteerism from people who were either out of work or working from home and had more time to offer their services. And some other organizations have curbed activities during the pandemic and do not need as many volunteers as they used to.
