Flowers on Chestnut · Nantucket Flower Collective · Parties and Petals
At Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Island Properties Nantucket, we believe what makes this island truly unique and special goes beyond its picturesque views, landscapes, and gorgeous homes—it’s the heart and soul of our close-knit community, the islanders and locals who call it home. The small independently owned businesses, the creatives, and the individuals who pour passion into their work make this place feel like a welcoming safe harbor. Among these gems, three local floristry businesses stand out, each uniquely contributing to the island’s vibrant atmosphere. In that spirit, we’re proud to spotlight three standout local floristry businesses: Nantucket Flower Collective, Parties and Petals, and Flowers on Chestnut.
Each of these businesses brings something special to the island’s community, from sustainable growing practices to personalized event design and timeless floral arrangements. Together, they reflect the beauty and care Nantucket is known for. These florists provide stunning flowers and a deeper connection to the island’s spirit, creating arrangements that are as memorable as the island itself.
Flowers on Chestnut: A Timeless Downtown Staple
Located in the heart of downtown Nantucket, Flowers on Chestnut is a full-service florist and thoughtfully curated gift shop that has become a trusted name for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, welcoming a new homeowner, or just looking to brighten someone’s day, their team offers exceptional floral design and service.
Since 1984, Flowers on Chestnut has built a reputation as one of Nantucket's premier floral shops, known for creating stunning arrangements with seasonal blooms, unique gifts, and home accents that are perfect for any occasion. I can personally attest to their timeless designs. They executed my wish for a simple, elegant, and timeless floral theme for my wedding, even sourcing lily of the valley (out of season, no small feat!) to create the most beautiful nosegay. They also made a floral crown for my daughter Celia’s first communion, and their work always surpasses my expectations.
Their ability to take a personal vision and bring it to life is one of the reasons I’ve gifted their arrangements to friends, clients, and family. I’ve always been impressed by every design's attention to detail and beauty.
