Join the Berkshire Botanical Garden staff on Saturday, February 25 from 1 – 3 for a workshop on Maple Sugaring at Home. Learn how to identify suitable trees, the when and how of collecting sap, the boiling down process for the home setting, and preserving the syrup for year-round use.

Participants will install spiles, develop collection schedules, and boil down maple sap to syrup. A tasting will follow. Dress for the outdoors. BBG members $25, nonmembers $30. Register online at www.berkshirebotanical.org or call 413-298-3926.  Image from www.motherearthnews.com.
