Celebrating 25 Years of Growing Together
October 25th | 4–7 PM | McLeod Plantation Historic Site
Members Only - Ticketed Event

​

We’re turning 25—and we’re celebrating the way we know best: with plants, people, and a whole lot of joy! Join us for an unforgettable evening at the beautiful McLeod Plantation, as we gather under the oaks to honor a quarter-century of horticultural impact, community connection, and green inspiration.

​

This special members-only celebration is more than just a birthday party—it’s a thank-you to all who have supported The HORT through the years and helped us grow into the vibrant organization we are today.

​

Come join the fun! 

• BBQ under the oaks—a delicious southern supper in a stunning setting

 

• Creative Container Competition —a lively, hands-on planting competition where creativity (and a little dirt) reigns supreme - with the ever-popular Brie Arthur judging the festivities

 

• Silent auction—featuring garden goodies, one-of-a-kind finds, and member-donated treasures

 

• Music, laughter, and plenty of surprises—because no HORT event is ever just a garden party!

​

We can’t wait to celebrate with you and reflect on 25 years of learning, planting, and blooming together.

​

Mark your calendar! More details and ticket information will be available soon. This is one event you won’t want to miss.

​

Let’s raise a glass to 25 years—and the many seasons still to come!
