What We Do
The purpose of the Cherokee Garden Club Community Fund is to protect, improve and to restore the environment of the surrounding community through programs and actions in the field of education and conservation. We accomplish this goal by awarding grants to qualified organizations. |
Nurturing the knowledge and love of gardening is the foundation of the Horticulture Committee. Through workshops, speakers, and shows, members learn to propagate, grow, and care for all types of plants. We participate in flower shows with plant specimens from our gardens as we strive to grow in our horticultural knowledge and expertise. |
Through workshops, speakers, and flower shows, our Floral Design Committee teaches members to appreciate both the basic and complex principles of flower arranging. This knowledge builds and develops creative and decorative floral design skills. |
The Garden History and Design Committee uses research and photography, the study of good design practices, and educational programs to promote an appreciation of America's gardens. |
Our Photography Committee furthers the study and appreciation of our natural landscape through the camera lens. Through speakers, workshops and shows, the committee promotes the art and science of photography at all skill levels. |
The Conservation Committee aims to protect and restore the local landscape through education and action. We educate our members on current conservation issues and promote respect for natural resources and responsibility for environmental stewardship. |
The Parks & Civic Improvement committee meets to clean and plant at different parks. Maintaining Louise Howard Park at the corner of Collier Road and Overbrook Drive in Buckhead has been a particular focus. |
