It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Nigel Dunnett.

Nigel leaves behind an extraordinary legacy in the world of horticulture. His work redefined how we think about planting, sustainability, and the role gardens play in connecting people to the natural world.

Our thoughts are with his wife Marta, his family, and all who were touched by his life and work.

We will share updates regarding the Keynote Luncheon in the days to come.

With heavy hearts,
NGF26

🌿 Are you looking to learn more about perennials and how to bring your garden to life year after year? Join us for an inspiring Keynote Lecture with expert Tony Spencer — The New Perennialist — at Straight Wharf Restaurant on July 9 from 12–2 PM as part of the 2025 Nantucket Garden Festival! 🌸🌾

Known internationally for his stunning, nature-inspired planting designs, Tony is a leading voice in the New Perennial Movement — a style of landscape design that celebrates native plants, biodiversity, and seasonal beauty. His work blends art, ecology, and emotion to create gardens that feel wild yet intentional.

On Nantucket, where coastal conditions and sandy soils can pose a challenge, Tony’s insight is especially valuable. He’ll share how to use perennials that thrive in our island environment, create resilient, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and design gardens that evolve beautifully through the seasons.

🪴 Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just planting roots, you won’t want to miss this!
