With Marc visiting Maine, I started thinking back to some of the great spots we've visited there. One that we haven't visited yet is Garland Farm, Beatrix Farrand's last garden. On the outskirts of Bar Harbor, it strikes me as a classic Farrand landscape with hints of Dumbarton Oaks but at a much smaller and simpler level. Now that it is getting some preservation attention, it should become a little better known. Definitely a place that I want to check out in person, and one that I have added to the Spaces and Places Map.
