Spring Hoppening Draws More than 300. Yeah, It Was Eggs-cellent!

Berkshire Botanical Garden began its 89th season with its second annual Spring Hoppening on Saturday, April 8, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“We wanted to kick off our spring season with a fun family event, and this was definitely fun,” said Thaddeus Thompson, executive director of Berkshire Botanical Garden.

More than 300 people came from throughout the region. Highlights of the event included egg hunts, a story walk, crafts, pony rides, games, snacks, drinks, and opportunities to have photos taken with a rather large and friendly bunny.

At 11 a.m. the first of two egg hunts began for children up to 4 years old, followed at 11:30 a.m. with an egg hunt for children of ages 5 through 12. At noon, we led an early spring tree identification tour, as leaves begin to bud throughout the 24-acre Garden. 

The Spring Happening was sponsored by the Kinney family and Lee Bank.
