About Celia Thaxter:
The poet Celia Laighton Thaxter (1835-1894) grew up on the Isles of Shoals. Her father built a large hotel on Appledore Island that became a gathering place for literary and artistic greats of New England during the late 19th century. Celia's garden exists today much as it did more than a century ago, when writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Sarah Orne Jewett, and artists William Morris Hunt and Childe Hassam drew inspiration from their visits to her Appledore home. Her flowers served as a cutting garden for the family's resort hotel and muse for her acclaimed book, An Island Garden. Source: https://www.shoalsmarinelaboratory.org/celia-thaxters-garden
