Miller Gardens

Known For

Privately cultivated estate garden with heirloom plantings and stone details

Miller Gardens operates with the quiet confidence of a charming storefront that doesn't need a sign — a private garden opened generously to visitors, with vintage interior-adjacent stonework and plantings that feel deeply personal. Great for photos in a way that has nothing to do with filters.

🕐Best time to visit: when the peonies peak, usually mid-June

144 Otter Cliff Rd, Bar Harbor, ME 04609, USA

Our Take

Miller Gardens is the kind of deeply local horticultural secret that has no signage and doesn't need any — the people who know, know. Worth tracking down if you're a serious garden obsessive willing to do a little homework.
