The Georgia Botanical Society sponsors a Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage every year to a different and interesting part of the state. This event consists of an overnight two- to three-day weekend with multiple field trips, speakers, and a banquet, all at the best price possible. This makes the Pilgrimage one of the Georgia Botanical Society’s most popular offerings.

The 41st Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage will be held March 12-14, 2010, in Bainbridge, Decatur County, Georgia, and in adjacent areas in Southwest Georgia and Northwest Florida.

For complete Pilgrimage information, click to download the 2010 Pilgrimage brochure, which contains detailed descriptions of the field trips, along with lodging info.

Download the 2010 Pilgrimage registration form to sign up for the Pilgrimage and for individual field trips, most of which are limited in number of participants. Please note that you must print out the form, fill it in, and mail it in via snail mail. We do not have online registration for the Pilgrimage.

Registration must be postmarked by Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Send in your registration as soon as possible for a better chance at getting the field trips you want.

Room reservations must be made individually through either The Charter House in Bainbridge or the Days Inn, both of which are offering special rates for the Pilgrimage. Reservations at the special rate must be made by calling either hotel by 4 p.m. Feb. 19 and informing the reservations agent that you are with the Georgia Botanical Society. Phone numbers for the hotels are in the Pilgrimage brochure.
