Green thumbs had their day in the dirt last week with the return of the Nantucket Garden Festival, held July 7–9. Alongside workshops and presentations from world-class speakers and gardeners, this year’s event featured guided tours of private homes and gardens rarely open to the public. Now in its 17th year, the festival serves as a fundraiser for the Nantucket Lighthouse School, which incorporates gardening and nature into its experiential learning curriculum.
