Asticou Azalea Garden, Japanese garden in Northeast Harbor, United States.
The garden integrates Maine coastal elements with sand, stones, bridges, and water features across meticulously maintained paths and landscaped areas.
Charles K. Savage established the garden in 1956 with financial support from John D. Rockefeller Jr., preserving plants from the Reef Point Estate.
The garden design merges traditional Japanese stroll garden principles with New England coastal landscapes through careful plant selection and arrangement.
Located at 3 Sound Drive in Northeast Harbor, Maine, the garden welcomes visitors with a suggested donation of five dollars for maintenance.
Water lilies emerge in August while Japanese iris, smoke bush, and fragrant sweet azalea create successive waves of color throughout summer months.
