About
Primitive brings alive 25 years of hands-on experience developing high quality, restorative and therapeutic landscapes. Growing up in North Augusta, SC, Todd Beasley often visited the nursery of one of the country’s premier plant collector and nurseryman (Ted Stephens & Nurseries Caroliniana). Through Ted he developed a love for horticulture.
Todd joined Jarrett’s Jungle, a tropical plant retail center in 1995 and later joined Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Garden as nursery and production manager. He’s served as faculty with Midlands Technical College and Heathwood Hall Episcopal School. He’s received recognition for developing various environmental education programs for schools and academic centers. Todd wrote the proposal to bring the American Horticultural Society’s National Children and Youth Gardening Symposium to Columbia in 2016.
In 2017, Todd was recruited to serve as the Director of Programs at the San Antonio Botanical Garden followed by almost two years at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden as Director of Horticulture & Facilities. It was at this time he began reflecting on his skills and experiences within horticulture and education. The time had come to bring dreams to realty. And thus Primitive was born.
