47th Nantucket Daffodil Festival Program

HISTORY OF THE NANTUCKET DAFFODIL FESTIVAL

In 1974 Jean MacAusland, a member of the Nantucket Garden Club and seasonal resident, wanted to beautify the Island in the Spring. She chose Daffodils since Nantucket’s sandy soil is ideal for growing Daffodils and our many deer and rabbits don’t eat them. Jean’s early goal was to plant one million bulbs starting on Milestone Road leading to Sconset. She was able to create the first daffodil flower show under the guidance and approval of the American Daffodil Society, which continues annually. Visit Nantucket in the spring and see how the original plantings have naturalized and increased over time. Today the tradition of planting daffodils has been carried forward by the Nantucket Garden Club and many other organizations, individuals, and residents to insure continued daffodils in the spring for all to enjoy.

Jean MacAusland, with a small committee created the first parade in 1978. She owned an antique car and since she and her husband were the founders of Gourmet Magazine, the parade eventually ended with a picnic in Sconset. Thus the beginnings of the Annual Daffodil Festival which now adds Flower Crown Party, Hat Pageant, Children’s Bike Parade, Dog Parade, and Daffodil Bazaar.
