In August, the Nantucket Garden Club conducts its annual fundraising event that is anticipated each year by everyone on the island. For more than 60 years, the Annual House and Garden Tour has become the venue to have a glimpse of many historic and new homes and gardens on the island. Each year a different neighborhood is selected…from ‘Sconset to Monomoy to Brant Point. The Garden Club members provide exquisite flower arrangements to complement the rooms in the homes. The event is held on a Wednesday afternoon in August and is well-attended. The revenue from this major event supports the local community in conservation projects (see Civic Improvement and Grant information), awards local scholarships and provides club educational programs and conference expenses.
