SUMMARY

By Thomas Christopher

Simplicity and an easy road to success is what Dolly Foster offered me in a recent conversation about winter sowing. 

This was once a foundation of the forest ecosystem in the eastern United States, growing to towering heights with trunks 10 feet or more in diameter.

Board of Trustees Chairman Matthew Larkin did the honors of hammering in the final oak peg for the framed-out structure that, by summer, will serve as the new heart of BBG’s popular Farm in the Garden Camp. 

Karlene Jean Kantner — “Volumes” — Jan. 20 through Feb. 26

Kantner’s show, “Volumes,” featuring nearly two dozen of her works, runs in the Leonhardt Galleries from Jan. 20 through Feb. 26.

What's all this work going on here at BBG this winter? The construction of an innovative and artful building will serve as the new heart of our popular Farm in the Garden Camp.

We're not talking about that sweet beverage you find at roadside stands in the fall, but rather that fermented beverage, what we would today call “hard cider.” 

A bumper crop of talented and generous tree workers went out a limb on Dec. 6. Thank you to all of the arborists and tree specialists who volunteered for Berkshire Botanical Garden’s annual Arborist Day.

The color and life birds bring to my landscape are among the greatest joys of my gardening. Admittedly, I don’t know much about what I am seeing. That’s in the process of changing.

Our notions of beauty and responsibility are ... evolving, to say the least. Welcome to the great transition!
