Sunnyside Gardens is a perennial nursery. In addition to our large and ever
expanding assortment of perennial varieties, we offer a few select garden
worthy shrubs to give bones to your garden. These include roses, lilacs,
hardy boxwood, viburnums, and weigela. There are many more. The odd annual
herb and container plant may be available depending on the whim of the
owner. A full selection of perennial herbs is always on hand, including several thymes.


Sunnyside maintains a large selection of peonies, hosta, and wild flowers,
including ferns. Astilbe and hardy geraniums are additional specialities.
We are constantly pushing the hardiness rating of many new varieties as they
often haven't been trialed in our area. We are quick to advise if there is a hardiness question.


The owner, Edith Ellis, is a Maine Certified Nursery and Landscape
Professional. She is a graduate of Southern Maine Technical College, with a
degree in Plant and Soil Technology. She is assisted in the gardens, by her
daughter, Joel Ellis Brown. Joel lives and gardens professionally in
Portland during the summer and does various freelance artwork during the
winter. She tends the perennial borders at Sunnyside and co-designs gardens
with her mother for select clients.


The Garden Shop At Sunnyside is located by the pink garden, just as you
enter the grounds from the parking area along the road. The shop carries
selected tools (the ones the owner uses), loop stakes and grill cages,
cement and GreenstoneT garden ornaments and birdbaths, books, zinc labels
and more. We also stock English teapots and other tea accouterments. This
year TyphooT tea and ChocoloveT chocolate bars will be added to the list.
All summer long, wonderful plant combinations in the many display gardens
give you glorious ideas to take home. Come often throughout the season to
find just the right plant to fill that empty space in your own garden.


With over 15,000 potted perennials to choose from, you are sure to find what
you need. The pots are conveniently arranged by height and light
requirements so that on the rare day that the owner isn't available to
answer your questions, the plants themselves will show you where they
belong. So, please come and visit us at Sunnyside. We are a family
business, just big enough to have what you need - just small enough to care.
And, ask about our weeding for plants volunteer program. It offers free
plants to the willing and able.
