The Berkshire Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society

Guests and new members are most welcome. Come to any of the  meetings which are normally held in the Exhibition Hall of the Berkshire Botanical Garden. Click location for directions.

Meetings are generally held on the first Saturday of the month from 10:30 am until mid afternoon. Members bring their lunch; coffee and tea are provided along with cookies and such.  In addition to the speakers, meetings usually include a plant sale open to members, where rock garden plants are sold to benefit the chapter, and open with a "show, tell and ask" session where prize specimens are displayed and you may have your rock-gardening questions answered.
