Festival of the Garden

Reconnect with nature at Charleston’s pioneering horticultural event.

Our relationship with the land has been a growing concern for some time, and this is your chance to hear from the experts on the subject. Gardening writers, food growers, foragers, garden designers and cooks descend on the gardens at Charleston for a long weekend in July to talk about all aspects of the way we interact with nature.
