Welcome to the Berkshire Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society!
We are a friendly group of enthusiastic gardeners interested in rock garden or alpine plants, woodland plants and dwarf shrubs and trees. We meet from April through November to hear slide lectures, see demonstrations, swap plants, and visit private gardens. Guests are very welcome.
Meetings for 2026 are all not to be missed. The lineup starts with the April lectures from Esther Benedict, renowned for the plants she grows and vends. Then in May we have our first joint meeting, show, and sale with the New England Chapter of the American Primrose Society. Our featured speaker will be Jodie Mitchell, proprietor from Barnhaven Primroses nursery in France. And there will be many exciting vendors. This event will be spread over the entire garden and open to the public. Other meetings will be held in the Education Center either in the Classroom or Exhibit Hall at the Berkshire Botanical Garden, Stockbridge, MA, starting at 10:30 am. Coffee and tea are ready at 10:00 am for informal gathering and conversation.
