Begun in 2001, the woodland garden at the Pentagöet Inn features native shrubs and shade perennials with a long season of interest, something fragrant and blooming from February through November. From the garden’s inception we have been committed to organic gardening practices, using compost rather than chemicals.
Weekly Garden Tours: June 17 - August 26, 2009
The tours will be held every Wednesday afternoon 2:30-3:30 presented by the inn's gardener, Pamela Johnson. Ms. Johnson is the owner of the Lamb's Quarters in Sedgwick, Maine.
Afternoon tea will follow at the inn at 3:30. The cost for the tea is $8.00. There is no charge for the garden tour. Please call for a reservation, 207-326-8616.
Yankee Magazine's Best of New England
Editor's Choice 2009
"Best Place to Check into History: Pentagoet Inn, Castine, Maine"
Although now well off the beaten path, until 1820 the Brits, French, and Dutch fought over Castine's strategic location at the mouth of the Penobscot River, and historic markers recount those struggles. Borrow a bike from the Queen Anne-style Pentagöet, an anomaly among the town's Federal and Greek Revival architectural gems, and explore the area. Afterwards, soak up world history via the portraits displayed in Passports Pub (onsite). Rates: from $115, including full breakfast. 26 Main St. 800-845-1701; pentagoet.com
A very warm thank you to Yankee Magazine for recognizing us. Congratulations to our friends and fellow Maine Select Registry members Roy Kasindorf and Helene Harton, of the Ullikana Inn, Bar Harbor and Dan and Ruth McLaughlin, of the Blair Hill Inn, Greenville who also are featured.
