Who We Are

 

Cherokee Garden Club was founded in 1928 in Atlanta, Georgia.  It became a member of The Garden Club of Georgia in 1928, and a member of the The Garden Club of America (GCA) in 1963.  Cherokee is part of GCA's Zone VIII.

The purpose of the Club shall be to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening and to protect, improve and restore the quality of the environment through programs and action in the fields of education, conservation and civic improvement.  As members of the Garden Club of America, we share and support the advantages of association by means of open meetings, conferences, correspondence and publications.

Founded in 1913, The Garden Club of America is a volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization comprised of 200 member clubs and approximately 18,000 club members throughout the country.  For more information about The Garden Club of America, click here.

What We Do



Community Fund

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.



Horticulture

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.








Floral Design

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.






Garden History & Design

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.





Photography

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.






Conservation

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. 







Parks & Civic Improvement

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.
