The History of Daffodil Weekend
Inspired by NGC member Jean MacAusland, the inaugural Daffodil Show was held in May 1975 with 250 entries. By the late 1970s, the Club had planted millions of daffodil bulbs across the island—creating Nantucket’s iconic spring bloom display.

The 70th Annual House And Garden Tour, “PROMENADE ON THE POINT” will be held on August 5, 2026 from 11-4. The House and Garden Tour is the Nantucket Garden Club’s sole fundraiser, and its impact reaches far beyond a single summer day. Proceeds directly benefit organizations and programs on the island, such as Civic Improvements; Grants for Beautification, Conservation, and Environmental Education; and scholarships for local students. Every ticket sold helps preserve the natural and cultural heritage of Nantucket for generations to come.
