Nostalgic Nantucket Escape: Exclusive Garden Tour

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 landscape radiates the character of coastal summer living: a meandering gravel path flows from the front garden to the back, passing beneath a custom arbor gate that marks a graceful transition between outdoor rooms. Perennials take center stage, delivering vibrant, season-long interest. The backyard opens into a courtyard-like space designed for both beauty and function, maximizing lawn area while accommodating a simple, elongated pool. Around the water, a manicured lawn is framed by upright columnar maples, voluptuous ‘Endless Summer’ blue hydrangeas, and a cedarshake fence that echoes the architecture 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.

Members 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.
