Botanical Resources
The Botanical Garden serves as a clearing house for information on plants and organizations of interest to gardeners, garden clubs and homeowners. The office of the Horticultural Society of Middle Tennessee is in Botanic Hall and serves as the umbrella organization for the seventy garden clubs in the region. Many plant societies hold their
meetings at Cheekwood.
Cheekwood will be happy to put you in touch with organizations of special horticultural interest. Some of these groups meet at Cheekwood; others do not. Since the contact people change at different times of the year, we ask that you call Botanic Hall (615) 353-6968 for further information.
