Ahhhh, the glories of the Maine Coast in summer!
Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay was the perfect spot Sunday for Islandport authors Dahlov Ipcar, William Andrews, F. Benjamin Carr and Lynn Plourde to chat with readers and draw new fans. Under a big white tent on the garden grounds, they were among 70 or so other authors signing their books at the fourth annual Books & Blooms book fair. The gardens were absolutely spectacular. If you haven’t visited them yet, put it on this summer’s to-do list. There are lots of peaceful spots along the garden’s trails to sit and read (an Islandport Press book, maybe?) among the flowers.
