Guided Garden Tour
Free Guided Tour of Reef Point Garden!
Tuesday, September 22
4:30pm to 5:30pm
Take a special FREE Garden Tour guided by Cameron DePaola of the garden on the Shore Path where Reef Point once stood!
Cameron DePaola is the founder of Riverside Group, a Maine based design-build firm specializing in landscape design and construction, residential renovation, and the thoughtful stewardship of historic properties. His work is rooted in a respect for place—combining the history and character of a property with landscapes and spaces designed to feel natural, enduring, and distinctly Maine.
Through Riverside Group, Cameron works throughout coastal Maine on projects ranging from historic estates and gardens to new landscapes and residential renovations. At Reef Point, his work has focused on honoring the property’s remarkable history and its connection to legendary landscape designer Beatrix Farrand, while thoughtfully adapting the landscape for its next chapter.
There will be snacks provided. This tour will be held rain or shine!
