professional Garden Care & Planting Services in Kittery, ME

Between the salt air, tidal estuaries, and New England seasons, Kittery offers a richly layered landscape—quiet neighborhoods, historic districts, and productive community gardens. At Seacoast Gardener, we bring horticultural sensitivity to this setting, crafting gardens that respond to Maine’s coastal climate while looking effortlessly beautiful.

 

The Character of Kittery Gardens

  • Coastal & Tidal Influence
    With frontage on the Piscataqua River and proximity to the Atlantic, many properties feel salt breezes and shifting moisture levels. We choose species and placement to account for this.

  • Community Gardening & Shared Plots
    Kittery supports a Community Garden at 2 Cole Street, where residents reserve plots and connect through shared gardening. kitteryme.gov

  • Nooney Farm & Giving Garden
    Owned by Kittery Land Trust, Nooney Farm (22 Stevenson Road) is a 30-acre working farm and educational site. It hosts a “Giving Garden” that supplies fresh produce to local schools and charities. KITTERY LAND TRUST

  • Municipal Landscape Guidelines
    The town’s planning and development documents discuss how landscaping should complement architecture, screen views, and maintain seasonal interest.

  • Historic & Residential Fabric
    Kittery has a mix of charming historic homes in Kittery Foreside, newer residential lots, and commercial zones. Gardens there must balance style, scale, and low maintenance
