A Maine TikTok Star Visited ‘Gardens Aglow’ & You Should Too!
You definitely need to put a road trip to Costal Maine Botanical Gardens on your holiday to-do list!
TikTok is one of the more entertaining forms of social media. At first, I was not on board at all, but I have slowly warmed up to it. So many weird fads, trends, and challenges have come from the millions and millions of folks who use it on a daily basis.
It has made stars out of everyday ordinary people, just posting fun clips, but it isn't limited to just being, one woman from the Bath area has used her huge popularity on the site, to give back to some deserving folks.
Meredith Steele, who goes by babiesofsteele on TikTok, has an impressive 908,000 followers, and made headlines when she put out a Venmo challenge to give "life-changing" donations to servers and wait staff at various Maine restaurants throughout the state
She also posts fun clips too. Meredith recently visited the beautiful, Gardens Aglow holiday event in Boothbay Harbor
@babiesofsteele I’ve never been to gardens aglow before and it was so special
