Kennebunkport Garden Stroll 2 hr

Step into Kennebunkport’s past on a relaxed garden stroll through a traditional New England community. With a local guide, wander the historic district and take in the quaint facades of sea captains’ homes, including residences dating back to 1798. Along the way, hear stories about former residents and the town’s gardens, from their history to the botanicals, shrubs, trees, and flowers that shape them today.

See public gardens cared for by the Seacoast Garden Club, along with private gardens and thoughtfully maintained hardscapes. The walk ends at Ganny’s Garden, a lovely tribute to former First Lady Barbara Bush, fashioned after a needlepoint carpet. This two-hour outdoor stroll covers approximately 2 miles, with the guide seeking shade where possible. The tour takes place rain or shine, so comfortable shoes and water are useful.

Meet your guide at the benches near Gibran’s in Dock Square, then discover the stories and green spaces that give Kennebunkport its distinctive character. Join this Kennebunkport Garden Stroll for an easygoing look at the town’s history, homes, and gardens.
