The Nantucket Garden Club continues to provide Scholarships and Community Grants annually.
Scholarships are awarded to Nantucket students who major in studies aligned with our mission such as landscape design, botany, ecology and environmental studies.
Community Grants are awarded to charitable, civic and government groups that qualify as tax exempt for programs that benefit the public and contribute to the beauty of Nantucket.
An award we give to the community, in partnership with the Nantucket Land & Water Council is the Conservation Commendation. The award is given to gardens using best practices in native gardening such as a pollinator garden, a turf conservation garden and coastal resilient rain gardens.
Nantucket Garden Club continues to partner with island organizations and has a long history of giving to the community.
Please consider a donation to the Nantucket Garden Club to support our continued good work for the island.
Thank you for your consideration and generosity.
Kathleen Poole
President, Nantucket Garden Club
