Proud members since the garden opened.

Thomas’ artwork is a gift and a do not miss.

Tom & Marty

Known as the Guardians of the Seeds, these towering wooden trolls were created by world-famous Danish recycle artist Thomas Dambo, who builds his sculptures entirely from reclaimed wood and scrap materials. Some stretch 15 to 20 feet tall, blending into the forest like something out of a fairy tale.

Installed in 2021, the trolls are part of Dambo’s global mission to inspire people to reuse materials and protect nature. Each one has a unique personality and pose — peeking through trees, resting along trails, or towering above visitors who stumble upon them while exploring the gardens.

Finding all five has become a favorite adventure for visitors wandering the property’s 300 acres of themed gardens, wooded trails, sculptures, and water features. It’s part nature walk, part treasure hunt, and part magical photo opportunity.

Hard to fathom…

but this how we make things happen.

Have a great day and be mindful that Mother Nature might get angry later.

Beauty of a start on the water of the home-state.

Greenland’s National Day - Visit Greenland On the 21st of June, Greenland celebrates its national day. It is the most celebrated summer festival and the country celebrates and entertains.

To ALL Dads,

Whether present or departed.

Thanks for doing your part, as you were able.

Try to remember, it did not come with instructions.

Reflect on the goodness, let go of the not so much.

They give us life and some goodness as well.

“Moominpappa’s thoughts and speculations vanished. He felt completely alive from the tips of his ears to the tip of his tail.” - Moominpappa at Sea, 1965

Happy Father's Day to all the dads, stepdads, and father figures out there. Wishing you a beautiful and relaxing day, and on the solstice no less. 🌞 A perfect day to celebrate, long enough for even a Moominpappa-sized tale.

Power starts from within.

Utilize personal strength, wisdom and actions.

Just kinda how we roll and contribute.

Save the date, America!

Give this a try.

You may sleep better and feel a tad less unsettled.

Being an American with some Finnish heritage and a County lad, on lot #38 on Little Madawaska Lake, because of Lloyd and Arlene…

I got the memo.

RIP Mom and Dad and Happy Belated 76th Anniversary and making life happen.

Your Loving Son,
