Martha Stewart Comes to Nantucket by Design as Keynote Speaker

The Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) announces Martha Stewart as the Nantucket by Design 2025 Keynote speaker with her good friend and acclaimed landscape designer, Fernando Wong, on Tuesday, July 15, at 3 pm.  

Nantucket by Design (July 14-17) is an annual celebration of art, design, and history bringing together world-renowned designers, artisans, and skilled craftspeople through panels, keynotes, social events, and more. The event benefits the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA), supporting its mission to preserve, interpret, and share the diverse stories of Nantucket with all audiences through its collections, properties, programs, and research. This year’s theme “interwoven,” corresponds to the NHA’s 2025 featured exhibition, Behind the Seams: Clothing and Textiles on Nantucket.

Martha Stewart has been recognized as a lifestyle visionary since her first book Martha Stewart’s Entertaining was released in 1982. Since then, she has achieved global acclaim, hosting Emmy-award-winning television shows, creating a media and merchandising company, and solidifying herself as a bestselling author, with her 100th book, Martha: The Cookbook, published in the Fall of 2024. Stewart continues to reach millions of fans through her product lines and multi-media platforms, sharing trusted information on subjects including, but not limited to, cooking, entertaining, interior design, gardening, weddings, and holidays. Her 101st book Martha Stewart’s Gardening Handbook was released in March and can be ordered here. Fernando Wong founded his firm, Fernando Wong Outdoor Living, with partner Tim Johnson in 2005. Originally based in Miami, the firm has since expanded to house locations in Palm Beach, Florida and Southampton, New York. Wong works internationally on both commercial and residential projects including pools, gardens, fountains, and sculpture gardens. His work has gathered critical acclaim, with Elle Decor once identifying Wong as “one of the most influential landscape designers in America,” solidifying him as a visionary in the field.
