Description:
The Nantucket Garden Festival highlights the unique and beautiful garden ecosystems on Nantucket and focuses on the importance of sustainability, conservation and gardening ethics for the long-term health of the island. The 2014 Garden Festival will emphasize the evolution of the Nantucket garden.
Scheduled for July 23rd & 24th, the festival celebrates gardening through informative workshops, exquisite garden tours, childrens activities and an opening night party.
The Nantucket Garden Festival benefits Nantucket Lighthouse School, an independent day school serving island children, pre-school through 8th grade. Founded in 1999, Nantucket Lighthouse School provides a developmentally appropriate education that engages the whole child head, heart, and hand. The concept for the Nantucket Garden Festival was born out of the Lighthouse Schools unique curriculum and organic garden, which provides an outdoor, hands-on classroom for acquiring skills in everything from language arts to science and mathematics.
