Hydrangeas? So Last Season.
Nantucket loves a good hydrangea showdown, but let’s face it: non-native plants and overfertilization aren’t winning any eco-points. What’s a yard-proud islander to do?
That’s where Nantucket Wildscapes fits in—where you’ll learn about native plants that look just as fabulous as hydrangeas and learn where to source these natural beauties on Nantucket!

Why Natives Matter
Without native plants, Nantucket faces significant ecological and cultural risks. Native species are essential for supporting pollinators, birds, and wildlife, while preventing the spread of invasive plants that threaten local ecosystems.
