Join Stephen Orr for Berkshire Botanical Garden's Winter Lecture (2027) on Saturday, February 27 at 2 p.m. held at the Lenox Memorial Middle High School, 197 East Street, Lenox, Mass. Stephen, the former editor-in-chief of Better Homes and Gardens, wrote a collection of essays and photographs that examines the restorative power of gardening, while revealing his own challenges in the garden and offering advice on growing plants and vegetables at home.
 

Stephen Orr has written about gardening for most of his decades-long career, and now, in The Gardener’s Mindset, he helps readers to understand not just how to garden but how to think about it. Inspired by the great tradition of twentieth-century garden essay collections by writers such as Vita Sackville-West, Elizabeth Lawrence, and Henry Mitchell, Orr brings his musings and practical advice to gardeners everywhere, no matter their skill level.
