Educate. Inspire. Grow!

Founded in 2000, the Charleston Horticultural Society (CHS) is a non-profit organization with membership open to all. The organization has grown to over 1,300 individual and business members interested in learning about all aspects of horticulture through lectures, a newsletter, educational workshops, and special tours. Charleston Trees, dedicated to ensuring the city’s green spaces are nurtured and expanded, and the Heritage Rose Society, dedicated to educating the public on the historic contribution of Charleston as the source of the Noisette rose - the first class of rose to be developed in America, are both Committees of the CHS.
