Upcoming program at Berkshire Botanical Garden
STOCKBRIDGE – Berkshire Botanical Garden presents the following upcoming programs: Saturday, April 26, “Top 40 Plants for the Naturalistic Garden.” Many gardeners are experimenting with the more natural style of planting popularized by the “Dutch Wave” and New York City’s High Line, but most of the plants that work best for these designs aren’t as familiar as the classic border perennials. Join plantsman Robert Clyde Anderson as he guides you through his best recommendations, a list distilled from over 20 years of nursery and planting experience. This three-hour session from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. will include an illustrated lecture, handouts, an on-site walkabout on the BBG grounds, and time for questions and shared experiences. Cost $50 members, $70 nonmembers; To register or for more information, visit www.berkshirebotanical.org. Berkshire Botanical Garden is located at 5 West Stockbridge Road.
