The Lerner Garden of the Five Senses at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens was the perfect setting for a birthday celebration. The guest of honor and her family come to Boothbay every summer and they wanted to hold the party in a place that means so much to all of them. We worked together to create a menu that highlighted the best of Maine with a touch of Mexico, another location that the birthday “girl” holds dear. Guests came in from all over the country for this perfect evening.
