The peonies are blooming!

Maine Audubon’s Gilsland Farm Peony Gardens are a famous and beloved feature of the wildlife sanctuary. When they burst into bloom in June, the fragrance fills the air and the colorful flowers announce the start of summer in Maine. Every year we wait and watch and try to guess when the first blooms will emerge. This year it was June 3! We’ve been tracking them with this slide show.

Maine Audubon works to restore and rebuild Maine’s natural biodiversity by planting the native wildflowers, shrubs, and trees that support the widest array of wildlife.
