  • Friday, June 20, 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm – Cocktails in Great Gardens

    This summer, experience an enchanting evening in bloom with Berkshire Botanical Garden’s Cocktails in Great Gardens — a rare opportunity to sip, savor and stroll through some of the most exquisite private gardens in the region. Enjoy a cool beverage and snacks in a relaxed, elegant atmosphere, all while exploring extraordinary landscapes not usually open to the public.

    On June 20, join us as we travel just up the road from the Botanical Garden to visit a recently developed garden by our neighbor and board member, Scott Lambert, in Stockbridge. Scott drew inspiration for his gardens from his attendance at our very own Rooted in Place Symposium featuring entomologist DR Doug Tallamy in 2019, and from the meadow research and experience of frequent BBG lecturer and author, Owen Wormser. To fulfill his garden vision, Scott collaborated closely with long-time BBG supporter and collaborator, Rebekah Lamphere of Hartland Designs, who added her expertise in landscape design, plant selection, and succession throughout the seasons. Please join us to experience a worthy example of how a “blank canvas” residential landscape can be transformed into a pollinator-, wildlife-, and biodiversity-friendly environment.

    BBG members $40, non-members $60. Register at https://www.berkshirebotanical.org/events/cocktails-great-gardens-june-20

  • Saturday, August 15, 10:00 am – Contained Exuberance Walkabout Tour

Tucked away in different spots throughout the Garden, the installations remain on exhibit through September. Signage listing plant names and describing the designers’ inspiration, accompanies each display.

    A walkabout tour of the installations with the designers is scheduled for Saturday, August 15 at 10 a.m. and departs from the Center House. Timed, admission ticketing is required, as are masks. Click here to register.
