Membership is open to all. We have membership categories for individuals, families, students, and more. Join us to enjoy the many benefits of membership, including:

	Our journal, Tipularia, which is published once a year. Tipularia is filled with beautiful photographs and interesting articles about botany in Georgia.
	Our newsletter, The BotSoc News, which is published seven times a year. This newsletter keeps members informed of the society’s activities, includes reports about our many field trips throughout the state, and provides interesting, timely articles on many botanical subjects.
	Field trips and workshops throughout the year, led by knowledgeable botanists to interesting botanical and geologic sites throughout Georgia. We typically sponsor more than 25 field trips and workshops a year to explore areas from the mountains to the coast and to learn field identification skills.
	An annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage, which consists of an overnight two- to three-day weekend in an interesting part of the state. Multiple field trips, speakers, workshops and a banquet, all at an amazingly low price, make this one of the Georgia Botanical Society’s most popular offerings.
