McLaughlin Garden – South Paris, ME

So the other part of this weekend’s epic drive was a stop at the McLaughlin Garden in South Paris.    It’s known for its lilacs (the annual Lilac Festival is this weekend), and they’re all planted in a pretty densely packed woodland area that last weekend was bursting with spring ephemerals.    Totally worth the trip.    (They also sold quite a few of them, including the trilliums, for planting.)
