Registration is now open for the 2023 Pennsylvania Botany Symposium to be held October 20-21 at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center in State College.

Pennsylvania Botany is Pennsylvania’s first botanical symposium, established in 2012. It is held every other year and welcomes plant enthusiasts from Pennsylvania and the surrounding region — everyone from professional botanists to hobbyists interested in the science that will advance and protect Pennsylvania native flora.

The Symposium is developed by people just like you — individuals who love plants and desire a hub for botanical communication in our region.

Student Research Posters

We are pleased to announce there will be a student poster session again this year, featuring juried student research posters on display both Friday and Saturday at the 2023 Symposium.

Projects from all areas of plant science are eligible and the abstracts for selected posters will be published online before the symposium and awards will be given that Saturday.
