Join us for a rare opportunity to explore a private garden that captures the essence of a New England summer in one of Nantucket’s most charming corners. This exclusive tour invites guests into the grounds of a quintessential island retreat, thoughtfully designed to inspire a sense of nostalgia, ease, and quiet elegance.

The garden experiences of this quintessential Nantucket summer home radiate the delightful character of New England summers. A gravel garden meanders from front to back, with a custom arbor gate defining the transition. Perennials are the star of the show, creating summerlong interest. An open backyard offers a courtyard-feel to maximize lawn space while accommodating a simple, elongated pool. A manicured lawn surrounds the water, along with voluptuous 'Endless Summer' blue hydrangeas, dense upright columnar maples, and a cedar shake fence matching the materiality of the home and pool house.

This exceptional garden was designed by Hoerr Schaudt, a nationally recognized landscape architecture firm known for creating timeless gardens that connect people to site and season. With offices in Chicago, Kansas City, and Los Angeles, their work draws upon centuries of horticultural tradition while embracing the rhythms and realities of modern living.

Nick Fobes and Michael Ciccarelli of the design team will be present to share insights into the project’s inspiration, design process, and the stewardship of evolving landscapes. Following the tour, guests are warmly invited to stay for a glass of wine and conversation among the hydrangeas.
