Topiaries
Snug Harbor Farm is Maine’s go-to place for all things topiaries. A full greenhouse dedicated to just topiaries sits on the back of the property, off to the left. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, and plant care guides are included with each purchase.
What are topiaries?
Topiaries are ornamental plants that are trimmed and shaped into geometric or intricate forms. They are often used in landscaping and gardening to create sculptural elements and add a touch of elegance to outdoor or indoor spaces.

I chose to visit this rainy spring day in early May. It was a perfect day to drive up the coast and spend the day shopping throughout Kennebunk. Topped off with one of Maine’s finest lobster rolls!
Snug Harbor also has an online shop if you don’t get the chance to visit this charming farm in coastal Maine.

Snug Harbor Farm Pots
Do you Collect or Garden with Terracotta Pots?
Snug Harbor has its own line of terracotta pots that have me doing my happy dance. They are weathered, covered in green moss, and paired with a beautiful go-green, succulent, or Lemon Cypress topiary. Just Wowza!
Just look at all that chippy, rustic goodness!

A Fall Visit to Snug Harbor Farm
As Labor Day passed us by, I drove up to Snug Harbor Farm again today to reconnect and get inspired for the fall.
A couple of beautiful bouquets made their way home with me.
Any ideas about what my friend Lisa is holding up at a local antique shop?

I love the little garden cabinet. I have a cabinet painted in the same shade of green. It was in my home as a child and it has moved with me five times over the last 45 years. I have painted it a different color each time to go with its new location…cream to barn red to Williamsburg blue to the pale green and now it will be a Williamsburg yellow(having taken four years to decide on its new color I am painting it this week) in our house in VA. Both the cabinet and I are hoping this is our last paint job! I visited Vermont and Maine once and loved it so I so enjoy reading your blog.
Peace
Thank you so much Cindi! Your cabinet sounds wonderful. I have one too my father made for me and I’m always painting it too😃
Ann, what a fun outing! I love topiaries and anyone of those would be welcome in my home.
I would love it if you would add this fun post to my Friday with Friends link party.
happy weekend,
RR
Thank you so much, Rachelle, I will definitely drop by!
Ah – Kennebunkport was one of my mother’s favorite places to go. Both my sisters have been there (they lived in Connecticut at time so not a huge deal to go there with them, as I am in mid Ohio.) So today being Mother’s Day it was a great day to read and watch this neat post.
OI love those topiaries! My hubs got me an unusual lavender tall huge topiary for Mother’s Day. I used to have a gorgeous rosemary one but I killed it one very hot summer when I wasn’t feeling well and let things go too long. (boo hoo. still kicking myself.)
Thanks for the smiles. It snowed just a little northeast of me last night – and the world was covered in the white stuff. So weird.
Hope you have had a nice weekend.
Thank you kindly for dropping by today Michele. Topiaries can be so hard to keep at times. I’ve killed my fair share too. But I’m trying them out again, as I adore them too. Happy Mother’s Day!
