We found trolls with ours! We heard about them on NPR, and since we were planning a family gathering in Maine, I decided to treat the family to a day trip to the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden in Boothbay to see them. There would be 16 of us: basic admission is $22 (reservations required). With our Landis membership, my husband Pat and I got in free, and the rest of the group were admitted for $16 each. The trolls, by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, are at least 20 feet tall, made of recycled wood, and well-integrated with their woodland habitats. Each brings a message from the trees. Even the skeptics who just “came along for the ride” were impressed! Check them out at www.mainegardens.org.
