The Botanical Garden, unique in this area, is designed to demonstrate the variety of flora which can be grown in Berkshire County, as well as to show the interface between gardening and art.

The Berkshire Botanical Gardens are open year round, offering workshops, demonstrations and public programs on all aspects of the gardening art, founded in 1934. Open Daily.
