White ribbons are gushing at Berkshire Botanical Garden! BBG's Director of Horticulture Eric Ruquist turns our attention to a "magical" extrusion this time of year.

Recognize anyone here? This footage was shot circa 1965 by Clemens Kalischer. It was kindly provided by his daughter, Tanya Kalischer.

Our annual Harvest Festival preparations are well underway. The gates open Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 12-13, at 10 a.m. (Music in this video was written and performed by our dear friends Indigo Beige.)

Horticulturist Ron Kujawski explains.

The Common Elderberry has bloomed, fruited and been eaten by the flying neighbors! Why does BBG Trustee Tom Ingersoll love this plant? He'll count the ways.

Thank you to our 149 active volunteers who provide us with 4,863 combined hours throughout the Garden. We could not do this without you!

A blooming extravaganza! Berkshire Botanical Garden presents the return of “Contained Exuberance,” a season-long showcase that unites the creative genius of the region’s top designers in crafting unique container gardens.

Another reason to come visit: our Edible Gardens. Come see Berkshire Botanical Garden's spectacular assemblage of good-for-you herbaceous plants, which we use in our kitchen for various classes. And yes, that’s the Berkshires’ own mighty Lucky 5 providing the music here.

Created in 1937, our Herb Garden is the oldest continuously planted area of the Berkshire Botanical Garden. Since 1957, the Herb Associates have been meeting weekly to grow and harvest herbs, and makes herb-based mustards, dressings, and jellies sold in the Visitor Center.

It's a main attraction for the young and young at heart! Come visit: We're open every day, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Leonhardt Galleries are located in the oldest structure on BBG’s property. This 18th century farmhouse was renovated and expanded in 2017 to include a botanical art gallery, reference library, teaching kitchen, and classroom. Don’t miss our stunning living wall in the entrance foyer!

Come and dance under the stars! BBG's 90th birthday celebration on Saturday, July 27, from 6 to 11 p.m.

Come and explore our woodland water garden, which showcases native plants that thrive in moist conditions — and plenty of wildlife, too. Be on the lookout for Common Milkweed; Kousa Dogwood; Redvein Enkianthus; American Waterlily; Linden Viburnum; and Bristol Ruby Weigela.

Ron didn't want to do this video because he had very little negative news to share about the state of pests and diseases. We have ways of making him talk.

Tickets now available! Come dance under the stars at our annual gala, July 27!
