About Us

Our founding principles endure: to act as a clearing house to coordinate the horticultural interests of the garden clubs, to collect and diffuse information on all topics relating to the culture and care of plants, to encourage the conservation of trees, native plants and birds, to promote widespread interest in the beautification and landscaping of public and private grounds, to foster civic improvements, and to stimulate cultural interests.

Founded in 1931, The Horticultural Society of Middle Tennessee, a volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, is one of three original founders of Cheekwood Estate & Gardens and has maintained its offices there since 1960. HSMT is comprised of over 40 garden clubs and approximately 1000 Auxiliary and garden club members throughout the Middle Tennessee
area.
