From a gardening point of view, I'd recommend the botanical garden in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

It is a fairly young garden, set into the woods along the rocky shore. The geologist in me loves what they've done with rock here, and the plants are wonderful too. Interesting sculpture set along the paths here and there, really awesome place.
And Boothbay Harbor itself is one of those quaint coastal towns that is loaded with small shops. Just to whet your appetite, I've included a picture of the meditation garden portion.
