Midlands Annual Meeting Thursday, January 8, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.

1605 Park Circle, Columbia, SC 29201

At the Midlands Annual Meeting we’ll gather to socialize, have a short business portion, and announce board election results. See below for voting information!

The meeting is a great chance to catch up with Midlands members far and wide, hear from a great speaker, and talk about plans for 2026. We’ll provide snacks and beverages, and we welcome your desserts–cookies, brownies, cake, whatever still sounds tasty after the holidays. Sign Up Here Please.

Our speaker, Todd Beasley, has been a figure in horticulture and education in the Columbia area and beyond for three decades. He’ll present “Deep Roots, Bright Blooms: Growing from the Past”. You may have met Todd and his partner Andy Boyd of Primitive By Design at their booth at our October native plant market.
