Estabrook’s Farm & Greenhouses in Yarmouth announced plans to open a third location in Kennebunk. The new location will be the company’s second Estabrook’s Color Spot seasonal garden center, and will feature a variety of annual and perennial plants, as well as shrubs, mulch and gardening supplies. The site is the current home of Maples Garden Center, 97 York Street, and the new Estabrook’s will open April 25th.

Portland’s easygoing quality of life is praised in the April 1st feature. The list was compiled based on a leisure index, crime data and 5-year cost of living average and unemployment figures. Kudos for local highlights go to Grittys, Cinque Terre, Blackpoint Inn and Cold River Vodka!
