Join Alex Klein for a Fall Plant Walk in the Garden on Saturday, Oct. 17, from 10 a.m. to noon. Plants might be potent medicine, delicious food, fine craft, or building material (or all of those things at once), but they also hold stories, memories and connections our human ancestors have formed with the landscape.
Discover the hidden textures and forms of plant life in this hands-on studio session that blends botanical foraging and gelli plate printing on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Explore the current biodiversity crisis and the evolutionary relationships among native plants, insects, birds, and fungi that support ecosystem survival on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. (Heidi Dollard, co-Chair of the Massachusetts Pollinator Network, will substitute for instructor Amy Meltzer)
Berkshire Botanical Garden will celebrate the arrival of fall with our annual Harvest Festival on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 10–11, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Harvest Festival 2026 is history, and we are so grateful for the help and support BBG received from so many in our region to make this event happen. It truly takes a village to bring this celebration of Fall to life on our grounds every year.
The harvest is in, but the herbal goodness continues. Find the Herb Associates’ handcrafted products in the Gift Shop while the volunteers take a winter break and prepare for their 70th anniversary celebration next spring.
This week, let nature do the heavy lifting: Turn fallen leaves into garden gold, forage for woodland treasures and coax a little more life from your lettuce and spring bulbs. And while the air is crisp and the soil just right, discover the gardener’s secret to a thriving garden next year: building better soil today.
