Recycleart — Attraction in Waldoboro

I'm a little biased, because I'm related to the sculptor, and it will be hard to remain objective in writing a review because I remember watching him create some of the sculptures in this massive collection.

The Recycle Art Sculpture Garden covers roughly 4 acres of land, much of which is well maintained and wheel chair accessible (With assistance for some hilly areas, and a word to the wise in the spring, the lower areas do get a bit spongy.) Sculptures of varying size, theme, and style line the paths of the garden making for a pleasant stroll on a grassy roadway that forms a loop of much of the property.

If you're a lover of junk metal art, a fan of those who follow the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle," or a young artist looking for inspiration, it is well worth the trip.

I go back often throughout the year and always find something new, something freshly created or simply something I missed the last time I visited.

Some pieces are for sale for those who must have, and it's always worth inquiring. You can't get this stuff at...

I love this garden and visit every time I come to Maine. I own three of his pieces and have them in my own garden. They bring me great pleasure. Yes this is not a manicured park- it is eccentric and wonderfully so-just as the artist was himself. He ‘allowed’ me to buy a pelican, a crane, and a stork on a bicycle. All are made from bits and pieces of steel- things that would otherwise have ended up in a trash heap somewhere. This artist recycled the bits in pieces into what you can see along the paths here. We always park along the road and bring bug spray. The work is uneven and so is the path but this is such a worthwhile destination and there are wonderful...

Really cool sculptures of all sorts of creatures, two-legged to many-legged, that have been creatively placed amongst the trees, stream, stones, and bushes of a peaceful couple acres of wooded hills.

Sadly, the artist passed several years ago so that place has seen better days. Even though the pathways are regularly maintained/mowed, the place definitely has an abandoned/private property vibe. There are no signs with any info at the entrance and parking is very limited (2-3 cars, tops.)

Bottom Line: Great sculptures, needs a welcome sign/info, and a if they'd had a donation jar I would have happily...
