Berkshire Botanical Garden
Do you remember the sense of freedom you felt when climbing trees as a kid? Are you an avid lover of trees? A birder? Photographer? Artist? Poet? Musician? Author? Arborist? Any and all of the above are welcome to come explore the arboretum from a new perspective — above, climbing trees. The Berkshire Botanical Garden and the Women’s Tree Climbing Workshop have created a one-day tree climbing experience on Nov. 4, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This event provides a rare opportunity to just show up, be curious and excited to be in the canopy.
