Dothan Area Botanical Gardens

History:-

Founded in October 1990, with construction beginning in 1996, the Gardens have developed steadily under the leadership of an all-volunteer Board of Directors, which is committed to the conservation of natural resources for future generations.

The Gardens’ Mission is to provide an enhancement to the quality of life for Wiregrass citizens, to serve as an educational resource for children and adults in garden lore and environmental issues, and to be a vibrant area attraction that promotes tourism and economic development in southeast Alabama.

Most Garden areas are accessible to visitors with disabilities and Group Tours are available by reservation. Please allow at least two days notice for any tours.

Picnic tables are available free of charge. However, since trash receptacles are not readily available throughout the Gardens, we ask that all visitors please take their trash with them when they leave.

For the safety and enjoyment of all visitors, and to protect the Gardens, we ask that all visitors please respect the following guidelines:

The Dothan Area Botanical Gardens is designated as a Smoke-Free facility.

Thank you for not smoking anywhere on the grounds during your visit.

No swimming, wading, fishing or throwing of any objects into any body of water.

Bicycles, roller blades, skateboards, and loud music are not permitted.

Dogs are permitted but we ask that you keep them on a leash at all times.

Plus, please take with you anything that your dog leaves behind.

You can use the navigation bar at the top of this page to explore many of the areas in the DABG, but we hope you’ll stop by and visit us soon… there’s lots to see!
