Through Monday, December 2 – 90 Years Young: Berkshire Botanical Garden 1934 – 2024

by

Berkshire Botanical Garden’s 2024 Art/Garden series continues with “90 Years Young: Berkshire Botanical Garden 1934-2024,” an exhibition featuring historical photos, film and other artifacts that trace the garden’s growth and elevation.

The exhibition continues through December 2, in the Leonhardt Galleries in West Stockbridge.

From its auspicious founding (as the Berkshire Garden Center) by a large group of civic-minded local organizations, Berkshire Botanical Garden has remained a community resource like no other. The Harvest Festival, begun in 1935 to raise much-needed funds, quickly became the quintessential Berkshire marker of fall. Our display and trial gardens, along with dedicated educators, have inspired generations of gardeners and garden lovers. And over the decades, our buildings and grounds have changed to meet the needs of our community. In this exhibit, we honor our long history and the people who made BBG what it is today.

Berkshire Botanical Garden’s Leonhardt Galleries are open seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Oct. 31. From Nov. 1 to Dec. 2, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information visit https://www.berkshirebotanical.org/90-years-young-berkshire-botanical-garden-1934-2024
