Ganny's Garden

Ganny's Garden Kennebunkport garden dedicated to Barbara Bush Ganny is the name Barbara is called lovingly by her 17 grandchil-
dren.

And the Garden, in many ways, reflects a needlepoint carpet
she spent years making in which she hid the initials of her grand-
children throughout a bed of beautiful pastel flowers. Those initials
now appear randomly engraved on the Garden’s stone walls. A
beautiful stone path, a custom arbor, plaques and bronze features
including her iconic sun hat, her famous mix-matched Ked sneakers
and a

copy of her favorite Jane Austin book help to personalize and
make the setting special. Barbara honored at a dedication with touching remarks made by friends Alicia Spenlinhauer, Nancy Sosa, Ken Raynor, Senator Susan Collins and Jean Becker. The Garden adds great beauty to KCT's River Green property and the village of Kennebunkport. The Green now has representations from
some of the most famous chapters of Kennebunkport’s history. Frank Handlen’s wonderful statue reminds us of the fishing families
upon whom our community was built. The Captain Lord Mansion,
the rope walk building across the street (now the Arundel Yacht
Club), the surrounding homes and river itself remind us of our ship
building tradition and all of its rich heritage. And now, the Garden,
will remind us of the years of the summer White House.
