Longfellow Arboretum
Portland, Maine, United States
The Longfellow Arboretum in Portland, Maine, began as a modest collection of 11 trees representing different families and continents and has grown to include 116 trees, both native and exotic species.
The arboretum is also home to a variety of shrubs such as lilacs, hydrangeas, dogwoods, azaleas, and rhododendrons. It originated from the efforts of the Longfellow Garden Club, founded in 1924, which aimed to renovate and maintain the garden associated with the historic Longfellow family home.
The garden retains much of its 1920s character and reflects plantings inspired by original design sketches, serving as a peaceful green space filled with both historical significance and botanical interest. It honors the legacy of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the renowned poet, who was connected to Portland, and the garden continues to be a valued public site blending natural beauty with cultural heritage.
