Inspired by her mother, who was an avid gardener, Helene Lewand has been practicing her passion for planting on Blackrock Farm for more than twenty-five years. Having formed an immediate connection to the property’s sprawling grounds situated amid the coastal countryside of Kennebunkport, Maine, Helene and her husband, Dana, began by planting herbs and flowers to dry for beautiful wreaths and bouquets. From humble beginnings, their business has since branched into adventurous greenhouse plants, vegetable gardens, and a thriving landscape design service.
