By far the best nursery on island. Most of the plants are grown here from seed--so they grow on…read moreisland and are ready for planting. Unique to Heather Gardens is the sense of locale (and therefore local); you can buy small and grow, annuals, perennials, herbs and vegetables. For residents or long-time summer residents this is really helpful to buy to grow not just to beautify for today. this results in much better pricing than other nurseries on island but yes some extra work. We have purchased larger plants, some from off-island here (like our favorite roses and hydrangeas) and they have been much more suited to this climate than those we purchased at other nurseries. ESPECIALLY the hydrangeas. Usually they are in root balls not those ubiquitous blue plastic containers, so they adapt to the transplanting better and mature quickly. It is easy to load your car, with both plants and the manure/compost/mulch options. They will help if you ask--but generally they leave you alone to enjoy unless you ask for help. We transferred our garden purchases to Heather Gardens several years ago and have been able to have many more plants (we are willing to purchase when they are small) and more interesting plants / less common plants then the standard gardens on island. This is a nursery for gardeners--if you are looking for garden decor or instant beautification it has some options--but that is not the focus.

What keeps us coming back is the awesome selection and quality of plants; the variety of garden decor, pots, and planters; their Plant of the Week and senior discounts; and the incredible service that Brandy and her team provide. Brandy has helped us countless times, answering our questions and pointing us to just the right plant. She's done an incredible job with the displays this year. If you haven't been lately, go check it out and get something to liven up your garden.

During one visit, we actually helped another customer load up some mulch in her car. The staff saw us do this and we've all been best of friends ever since. It paid off to our advantage as we later found a plant we wanted but wouldn't fit into our car. One of the staff said, 'no problem' and offered to deliver it to us. Not only does the team rock at this location, they also have a great selection of plants. They obviously don't have the space to offer as much as the Edgartown location but they make up for it with their service and can-do attitude!

Dawn Kelly has a gift…read more My mom, ever the skeptic of everything, wondered whether Dawn was "more than we needed" in a florist. She, perhaps, imagined the simplicity of a Main Street mom-and-pop florist who would put together some nice tabletop arrangements and be on their merry way. It's true, Dawn Kelly is so much more than that (although I would argue not necessarily cost-wise). And, yes, you need her! I fancy myself an artist of sorts (don't we all?). Dawn was patient and BRILLIANT at interpreting the nonsense that spewed from my mouth about Dutch Masters and English gardens (seriously who am I and why did someone even want to marry me?). She not only developed beautiful concepts based on my ideas and helped shape my thoughts into a true VISION, she did so in an organized, straightforward fashion with pricing that ended up being extraordinarily accurate. No surprises in the end; just stunningly perfect flowers and decor. She truly designs decor for your event that goes beyond flowers down to tabletop details like taper candles, unique and eclectic vases, etc. She looks to be economical for you when it makes sense and works well. For example, she suggested we repurpose our aisle arrangements from the church on the tables during our cocktail hour. Her details -- like corsages and boutonnières -- were unique and helped to better define our wedding and set it apart from the rest. She is a key reason our wedding captured elements of who we really are, and she delivered above and beyond, all for what we felt was reasonably pricing. If you are hosting a wedding or major event on Nantucket, I could not recommend Dawn more highly.

My experience working with Dawn was just terrible. I think she is unprofessional and I would not…read morerecommend her to anyone. Our flowers literally could not have been worse. Every item we paid for was of extremely poor quality and aesthetic. Dawn told me that she was going to have to specially import a type of hydrangea, because the color I wanted was out of season and it would be significantly more expensive~ I understood this, and agreed. The "specially imported" and "expensive" hydrangea that was actually used in my flower arrangements was a REGULAR white hydrangea that she SPRAY PAINTED hot pink (my wedding color). You should also know that I'm a floral designer~regular white hydrangeas do not need to be imported and spray paint does not make a flower a "special and expensive import". My bridal bouquet cost $350.00 and the bridesmaids bouquets cost $95.00 each and somehow, my bouquet was the tiniest of all the bouquets. The flowers in my bouquet were supposed to be "premium" blooms, but there were literally 4 premium flowers in my bouquet. Half of the flowers were dead and should have never been used. The bouquet's wraps had staples hanging out of them. The corsages were literally falling apart before the ceremony even began. We actually had to scotch tape them together :( The boutonnieres each had a bunch of loops when we specifically said "no loops". After the wedding we tried to contact Dawn to talk about our concerns and 3 weeks later, she still has not returned our phone calls or emails. My mom even stopped by her shop and left a note for her to please follow up with us. Apparently, she doesn't care about providing any level of customer service once she has her money. If I could give zero stars I would.
