Berkshire Botanical Garden proudly presents the GROW SHOW!

The Grow Show embodies a rich 43-year Berkshires tradition with fun and fanciful opportunities for gardeners of all ages and abilities to show what they grow in a juried exhibition. This is truly a community event when local gardeners come together under one roof to spotlight their own backyard harvest, swap horticultural tips and celebrate the height of the season. We are delighted this year to once again host a Garden Photography Competition in association with Berkshire Museum Camera Club featuring three divisions open to all! We look forward to seeing you at the Grow Show!
