Description

Black and white photograph of a garden scene at Thuya Garden, Northeast Harbor, Maine, showing two large planters crafted by Eric Soderholtz, filled with flowers flanking the entrance to a path bordered by dense shrubs and trimmed evergreens. The photograph features a symmetrical view with matching ornamental urns on either side of a wide path, each planter containing abundant blooming annuals or perennials. The background is filled with carefully clipped shrubs and rounded coniferous bushes, leading up a gentle set of steps toward upper garden areas. Thuya Garden is known for its combination of formal English-style plantings and local plant varieties. A tape measure sits on the ground next to the planter, providing scale. 1994. Jill Linzee, photograph. (See p16235-p16244.) (See NA4800.)

Save Outdoor Sculpture! (SOS!) (1990-1995) was a nationwide survey that ran from 1990-1995 documenting America’s outdoor sculpture. Established in 1990, SOS! helped educate local communities about America’s endangered sculptural heritage. The Maine Arts Commission was one of 106 organizations to participate in this survey.
