Since 2008, the Nantucket Garden Festival has been a community celebration of horticulture, design and sustainability. Your support of the Festival, at any level, nurtures a year-round community of Nantucket Lighthouse School students who practice and model the spirit of sustainability every day. Join us as a sponsor of this signature Nantucket event. 

Nantucket Lighthouse School, founder of the Nantucket Garden Festival, received a ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ from Monarch Watch, a non-profit education, conservation and research program based at the University of Kansas that focuses on the monarch butterfly, its habitat, and its spectacular fall migration. The award grants Nantucket Lighthouse School’s Pollinator Garden national recognition as a certified Monarch Waystation.
