We had three glorious days filled with flowers, farmers, fabulous speakers and good times with friends (new and old!). Now in its 11th year, the Nantucket Garden Festival has become a world-class event, attracting internationally acclaimed speakers and industry leaders, and receiving national praise and recognition.
A heartfelt thank you to all of our participants, presenters, volunteers, sponsors and our amazing NGF19 Committee and Advisory Committee.
We cannot thank you enough for your personal support and participation, which benefit the happy, thoughtful kids grown at Nantucket Lighthouse School.
A special thank you to the guests at the Garden Soiree who raised their hands in support of Nantucket Lighthouse School's Head, Heart and Hand Scholarship Fund. You helped the school raise $30,000, which will go toward the $250,000 in financial aid that is raised and awarded each year to make a Lighthouse education accessible to island families. We invite anyone who would like to participate to join the below donors in support of our Head, Heart and Hand Scholarship Fund by making a tax-deductible onlinedonation.
