The oldest rhododendron in the current garden was planted prior to 1917. Ladd, who served two terms as the mayor of Portland in the 1800s, was the original owner of the property. In summer, trees, shrubs, and perennials add an abundance color. A spring-fed lake surrounds much of the garden, attracting countless waterfowl which nest and feed in this natural habitat. This internationally recognized garden is a beautiful place to host your wedding May through September. Weddings at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden
