TROUT LILY Erythronium americanum 
CHECK OUT THE GREAT PRICE
SUPER SALE ON THESE
troutlily
From a small bulb, 2 shiny leaves, often with snow still about emerge; then a perky frilly yellow lily~like flower pokes up as a charming sunny treat! The 2-3 inch, lance-like glistening foliage is often streaked & mottled like a trout’s back: hence the name. Trout Lily forms impressive colonies & is amazingly easy, tolerating clay, damp or average soil without care. Like other wildflowers it can be planted in beds at the edge with perennials, lawns & any bright areas in spring! Cherokee Indians regarded it’s bloom as the time to fish for trout, as in nature it was found near trout streams…but it is at home in any Zone 4-8. Also called Deer’s Tongue, Adderleaf, Star Striker GREAT PRICE   20 for $35  40 FOR $55  80 for $99, only $4 to ship any size order

Greetings camping and garden friends!

2013-08-02_18-35-30_192

After much hard work we can now say our tent campground is opening. A rare plant nursery and scenic campground all in one …the only place like it. Tent camping with scenery all around you in mid coast Maine! Tall pines, fragrant firs and all the neat flora of Coastal Maine surround you at our lakefront property in Georgetown, Maine.

Note: lots of pics here, might take a minute to load!

These are not your typical campsites all jammed together.

Text 207 607 1284 for more info or to book or email easternplant@juno.com

IMG_20180806_141356

If you’ve been here you know how scenic our property is …but few have seen the amazing back property featuring a meandering stream, beaver pond and dramatic cliffs with moss covered boulders.  Our tent campground now showcases that beauty.

Come experience it …it is truly park-like.

IMG_20180808_155900

Just five private campsites, each with great features, including a water spigot at each site, offer a true back woods experience! (Yet close to civilization)

IMG_20180806_184134

Two sites have great fire pits …all sites are near or on our stream and have direct access to a logging road and hiking on the 140 acre nature reserve.

IMG_20180729_072418

Pine needled trails and pine needles at the tent sites for comfortable sleeping!

IMG_20180812_093557

IMG_20180812_092630

Two sites are near our beaver pond with the sounds of frogs and sights of great birdlife including Bald Eagles, herons and more.

IMG_20180806_141157

Two sites are accessed by small footbridges over the stream. There are moss covered boulders and dramatic cliffs near the Morning Mist, Babbling Brook and Cedar Meadows Sites.

IMG_20180806_184534

We are centrally located near Bath Maine with many major Maine attractions within a days drive.

Above shows the meandering stream after some good rains, this is near the Morning Mist Site

IMG_20180729_073230

The Red Door Site red door! Where did it come from? And where is the rest of it? That door has been there since we bought the property in 1988.

Other stuff:

There are enclosed high quality portable toilets with fans and lighting. Discretely placed solar and motion lights for ambient light to get you around in the dark.

For an additional fee we can provide a tour thru our abutting park-like nursery, there is no other nursery like it. See the largest collection of rhodos in northern New England.

Swimming: We are close to Reid State Park and it’s famous sandy beach. Plus, a few miles up the road is Sewell Pond, a noted swimming area. With so many campgrounds overcrowded, here is your chance to experience the Maine woods in a private way …like it used to be.

BBQ:  Sites 3, Morning Mist and 4, Babbling Brook, have cool BBQ pits.

Scenery: Dramatic rock bluffs and moss covered ledges are near the campsites. Don’t forget the meandering stream.

FOOD: The general store is two miles away …a nice walk or bike ride. The historic town of Bath is less than fifteen minutes away.

Come camp …it’s a great back to nature place!

Here is a description of each tent site. Sorry no RV’s.

Site 1– Red Door site, overlooks a scenic beaver pond with waterlilies and cattails. The sounds and sights of frogs, birds and deer are all around you. It is a short walk to the lake, Bald eagles frequent it. $29 per one or two people, $6 for each additional.

Lets talk toilets! We will have enclosed, high quality portable toilets at the campsite area, a big upgrade from the pit toilets we had mentioned. They will be only a short walk from the sites. We will have some sort of dim lighting near each one so they are visible at night, with an integral fan and light inside so you aren’t pooping in the dark.

Eastern Plant and WildWalkWays are in the town of Georgetown, Maine which is right next to Bath. It’s an incredibly scenic area.

Georgetown, Maine is considered lower mid coast. Generally, mid coast is the area from Brunswick (on the west) to Camden (on the east). I would say that mid coast is where the real beauty of Maines coast starts to shine. There are many peninsulas that jut into the water, each one is different, with its own character. You might think all that water helps moderate the temps in winter, making it easier on plants. But since the water is mostly to the south of land, the moderating effect is not as dramatic as you might think. The cold winds blow from the north and west. Still, the coastal areas of Maine are milder than inland.

There are roughly a thousand people in Georgetown, more in summer. Unlike many of the peninsulas and coastal towns, it is not in any way ruined by development or tacky tourist traps. As you drive route 127 you will pass many scenic vistas. The most famous areas of Georgetown are Reid State Park and Five Islands. (and Eastern Plant Specialties)

We have one general store in town and the Five Islands take out late spring thru early fall. If you are coming to visit us or anywhere in Georgetown remember there are no gas stations in town, so fill up first.

Here a few pictures of what you will see in Georgetown.
