​

We’re Turning 25 — and It’s Time to Celebrate! We’re marking a quarter-century of CHS HORT the way we know best, with plants, people, and a whole lot of fun!

 

Join us under the oaks at the beautiful McLeod Pavilion on James Island for an unforgettable evening honoring 25 years of horticultural impact, community connection, and green inspiration.

​

This isn’t just a party - it’s a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who’s helped The HORT grow into the vibrant, thriving organization it is today. 

​

• Special Announcement: We’re proud to present the Frances and Peter Read Award at the celebration,  recognizing extraordinary contributions to horticulture and community stewardship in the Lowcountry.

​

• The excitement starts early: Our Silent Auction is LIVE online  and continues in person the day of the event! It’s packed with dream getaways, garden treasures, local art, and unforgettable experiences.  And don’t miss our “Winner Takes All” Raffle, featuring over $1,000 in prizes from your favorite Charleston shops and restaurants — all supporting The HORT’s mission.

 Come join the fun!
