Cultivating Minds Series
Our HORT Lecture Series is a long-standing tradition that brings inspiring speakers, fresh ideas, and meaningful garden education to our community. Each program offers a chance to learn, connect, and be energized by the beauty and science of horticulture.
Our Cultivating Minds Series brings together some of the most inspiring voices in horticulture, ecology, conservation, and garden design. Each speaker is carefully selected for their expertise, passion, and ability to spark curiosity in gardeners of every level. Many join us from other regions, offering fresh perspectives and deep knowledge shaped by hands-on experience.
Lectures take place on select evenings throughout the year, beginning with a casual welcome reception at 5:30 PM so guests can mingle, enjoy light refreshments, and connect with fellow plant lovers. The program begins at 6:00 PM.
All lectures are held at the MUSC BioEngineering Auditorium located at 70 President Street. Parking vouchers are provided for Jonathan Lucas Parking Garage.
This series is a free benefit for CHS HORT members. For non-members, admission is $20 at the door. We kindly ask that you sign up for the lectures.
