On Thursday, August 15, from 5 – 7, the Berkshire Botanical Garden invites you to step through the gates of this garden and find yourself in a private magical world. This two-acre garden feels much larger because of its division into many garden rooms. One area unfolds upon the next, each with its own unique sense of style and individuality. Key to the garden’s style is the focus on form and texture. Texture derived from the selection and juxtaposition of plants whose form, leaf shape, and color create a tapestry that remains interesting long after flowers fade.
The garden is featured in The Private Gardens of the Hudson Valley, by Monacelli Press. Tickets are limited (BBG members $45, nonmembers $55) and reservations are required. Call 413.298.3926 for more information. You may also register online at www.berkshirebotanical.org.
