By the time mid-April in Maine arrives, we are beyond ready for spring blooms, warmth, and connection. With this in mind, the team at Decor Maine hosted our first-ever event – a pop-up Secret Garden party.

In celebration of our annual Into the Garden issue, this invite-only evening of secret garden-inspired delights and surprises appeared in a secret location that was only revealed to guests after they RSVPd.

We were thrilled to transform the brand new Maine Studio Works event space in East Bayside Portland, with the talent and artistry of our event sponsors, including One Stop Event Rentals, Fresh Pickins, and Pierson Nurseries.

58 Culinary (the same team behind beloved restaurants Twelve and Evo) served up delicious bites and cocktails, including one of our favorites from the event, the Violette Femme.

They have kindly shared the recipe, so you can enjoy a taste of that magical evening, too. We recommend pairing it with a viewing of this video recap of the event, created by the super talented duo, Harry & Lyss.
