GeorgiaThe Georgia Botanical Society is a statewide nonprofit dedicated to studying, appreciating, and preserving the native and rare wildflowers of Georgia. In its current form the organization was established in 1979 and carries forward the mission of an earlier society of the same name founded in Atlanta in the 1920s. Rather than maintaining a single garden, the society is best known for its field trips to natural areas across the state, along with meetings, workshops, and speaker programs open to members of all experience levels. It publishes the newsletter BotSoc News and the botanical journal Tipularia, and works to protect endangered plant species and significant botanical habitats. Its records are held at the Kenan Research Center of the Atlanta History Center.
