Upcoming programs at Berkshire Botanical Garden
STOCKBRIDGE – Berkshire Botanical Garden presents the following upcoming programs: Friday, June 28, 8 to 9:30 p.m., “Evening Firefly Watch.” Join Dale Abrams, regional education manager for Mass Audubon in western Massachusetts, to learn about the lives and habitat needs of fireflies, and view their ephemeral glowing light. After a brief indoor introduction, take a twilight stroll around the gardens and meadows for firefly viewing while keeping our eyes open for the stars and planets, and listening for twilight birds and mammals. Participants will also learn ways to support firefly health in their yard and community. Cost $15 members, $20 nonmembers; Saturday, June 29, 1 to 4 p.m., “Summer tree Identification.” Led by Tom Ingersoll and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll. Participants will revisit trees through the seasons (this class will look at the summer season) and witness their unique characteristics. Identify species of trees, ID a tree by its bark and understand which trees flower in summer. Come join in the journey of the magic of trees, starting with how to identify them in the landscape and forest settings. Cost $90 members, $110 nonmembers; To register or for more information, visit www.berkshirebotanical.org. Berkshire Botanical Garden is located at 5 West Stockbridge Road.
