The Dothan Area Botanical Gardens, located at 5130 Headland Ave., just off Highway 431 North of Dothan, consists of 50 acres of cultivated gardens, nature trails and undeveloped, wooded landscape in southeast Alabama. The DABG seeks to preserve the native plants of the area in an attractive balance with traditional botanical garden elements. The Garden is committed to the conservation of natural resources for future generations by providing opportunities to the public for beauty, education and research.
Founded in October 1990 with construction beginning in 1996, the Gardens have developed steadily under the leadership of an all volunteer Board of Directors. The Gardens mission is to provide an enhancement to the quality of life for Wiregrass citizens, serve as an educational resource for children and adults, and be a vibrant area attraction that promotes tourism and economic development in the Wiregrass.
The DABG is open 365 days a year from sunrise to sunset. Office hours are 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday. There is no charge to visit the Gardens but, as a non-profit, donations are always appreciated.
Most Garden areas are accessible to visitors with disabilities and group tours on an electric tram are available by reservation. Please call 334-793-3224 and allow at least two days notice for a tour.
Picnic tables are available free of charge. Visitors are asked to take all trash with them as trash receptacles are not available.
For the safety and enjoyment of all visitors, and to protect the Gardens, please follow the following guidelines:
• No smoking or fires of any kind are allowed. • Bicycles, roller blades, and skateboards are not permitted. • Dogs are permitted but we ask you to keep them on a leash at all times and take with you anything your dog leaves behind. • No swimming, wading, or fishing is allowed in any body of water on the Gardens grounds and please do not throw objects in any of the water features.
There's lots to see! We hope you enjoy your visit!
