Island Connections invites the public to attend the Spring Bulb Tour at the W.P. Stewart Estate in Northeast Harbor on Saturday May 17 and Saturday, May 24 from 9:30 AM-3:30 PM (rain dates: Sunday, May 18 and Sunday, May 25).

 Each year Barbara and William Stewart graciously open their Northeast Harbor estate, WatersEdge, overlooking Somes Sound, for this extraordinary event.  You are invited to walk through the winding garden paths to enjoy the spectacular perennial plantings.  Meander along the “bulb path” where the profusion of colors, shapes, and fragrances of 85,000 bulbs await your discovery.  The ten-acre grounds also include the Sundial Garden (a sunken alpine garden of lovely masonry and an unusual collection of plants) and lush woodland gardens.  

Proceeds from this event will benefit Island Connections in its’ work to provide free services for senior citizens and people with disabilities living on Mount Desert Island and surrounding offshore islands. 

The price is $15 per person.  Children under 12 are free, when accompanied by an adult. 

We thank Mr. and Mrs. Stewart for graciously selecting Island Connections as the beneficiary of the Bulb Tour this year.

Celebrate Spring by joining us for this spectacular event!
