Columbia Green got its start in 1984 as a nonprofit that “stimulates and promotes knowledge and appreciation of gardening, horticulture, and conservation.” We still believe in the power of community education and generating an appreciation for nature. Now, we take an active role in mobilizing community efforts to preserve our natural environment through urban forestry, green space, and gardening initiatives. With the help of our sponsors, nonprofit partners, and almost 2,000 Columbia Green members, we are making the Midlands a greener, healthier, more liveable environment for all citizens!
