Rodney Eason is CEO of the Mount Desert Land & Garden Preserve, a collection of three gardens (Asticou, Thuya, and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller) and over 1,200 acres of natural lands adjacent to Acadia National Park. In his August 26 Polly Hill Arboretum presentation, Rodney will review the history of these gardens, the majestic natural landscapes, and how the staff and volunteers are working together to preserve these areas for current and future generations. Enjoy a virtual tour of the gardens in full flower!
After nearly a decade in Pennsylvania working at famed Longwood Gardens, Rodney and his family headed ever further north to Maine, where they have called home since 2012. He holds a bachelor of landscape architecture from NC State (with a minor in horticulture) and a master of science in public horticulture from the University of Delaware and Longwood Gardens. Along with being passionate about the Preserve and Maine, Rodney enjoys going to their kids’ sporting events, starting home improvement projects, and riding his bike to avoid finishing these projects.
