Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens ended its experimental, sixth Gardens Aglow season on high notes. CMBG President and CEO Gretchen Ostherr said the team pulled off a spectacular and successful drive-through version of the festivities.
“I feel like we did a really great job coming up with the creative solution to the challenge that the pandemic presented us. The team did a phenomenal job with the design. Some of the statues they created kept it connected to the Gardens. It was really logical, but beautiful.”
