How the Georgia year breaks down
Counted, not claimed
Across the twelve Georgia month pages the reference side draws on 6 wildflowers, 6 trees, 6 butterflies and 7 things coming into season locally.
Something in the Georgia list is in bloom from March through October, and June is the peak — 22 of the 47 species are flowering then.
16 of them are caterpillar host plants and 12 support specialist bees — the ones that do the most work in Georgia yards.
On the 2027 numbers the standout for Georgia is the Quadrantids — about 120 an hour at its peak with the moon only 18% lit, best after midnight into dawn.
The Geminids, by contrast, peak against a 100%-lit moon that year — the kind of night the guide tells you to skip rather than let you find out at 2am.
The calendar runs every major shower of the year — 12 of them — with the moon's brightness worked out for each peak, so Georgia knows which nights are worth the drive.

The set, or the pieces
Both are honest ways to buy the Georgia editions
| One at a time | The Georgia Set | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Whichever single Georgia edition you pick | All three, together |
| Checkouts | One for each — there is no cart here | One, for the whole Georgia set |
| What it costs | $33.98 for the three apart | $29.00, saving $4.98 |
| If you only want one | Buy it on its own; every Georgia edition is sold separately | The set is only worth it if all of it is new to you |
Before you buy
Who this is for
Made for
- Someone starting from nothing who wants the Georgia basics in one go
- Gardeners in Georgia who also go out after dark
- Anyone giving the whole Georgia set rather than a single file
Not for
- Anyone who already owns one of the three Georgia editions in it — buy the rest singly instead
- Anyone who wants the Georgia Nature Year; that is the bigger book, sold on its own page
Everything here describes typical timing across Georgia, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Georgia pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.
Questions
Before you decide
What exactly is in the Georgia set?
Three things, sold separately elsewhere on the site: The Georgia Nature Journal, Native Plants of Georgia and The Night Sky over Georgia. You get every file each of them contains.
What if I already own one of these Georgia editions?
Then buy the others on their own — the Georgia set only saves money if all of it is new to you, and we would rather say so than take $29.00 for a file you already have.
Is this cheaper than buying the Georgia editions one at a time?
Yes — $29.00 rather than $33.98, a saving of $4.98. There is no cart here, so buying them apart also means checking out 3 separate times.
Do the Georgia files arrive together?
They arrive as one download list on one page — 3 files in all for Georgia, each downloadable on its own, and the link re-opens for 72 hours.
How accurate is the timing for Georgia?
It describes typical timing across Georgia drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Georgia dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".
Is it worth paying when the Georgia pages here are free?
The free Georgia pages are the month you are in; these are the Georgia editions around them — planned before the year arrives, and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.
Will it work for my part of Georgia, or just the big cities?
It is written at state resolution — Georgia as a whole, with regional notes where Georgia genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.
What format is the Georgia edition, and can I print it?
A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the Georgia pages are made to be carried outside.
What if the Georgia set is not what I expected?
Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Georgia edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.
Everything in this set is also sold on its own — The Georgia Nature Journal, Native Plants of Georgia and The Night Sky over Georgia — and the free Georgia pages cover this month either way.
