Organizational Sketch: The Cherokee Garden Club was organized in 1937 by gardeners living on Cherokee Street in Dothan, Alabama. The club was once a member of the Dothan Federation of Garden Clubs, but left the when the requirements no longer matched the interests of the Cherokee Garden Club. The club's goals are to promote an interest in gardening, civic beautification and planting, to protect wild flowers, trees and birds, and to share plant and gardening knowledge in order to encourage neighborly spirits and be involved in one another's gardens.
