Green Thumbs and Heartfelt Care: Inside Our Herb Garden

Created in 1937, our Herb Garden is the oldest continuously planted area of the Berkshire Botanical Garden. Since 1957, the Herb Associates have been meeting weekly to grow and harvest herbs, and makes herb-based mustards, dressings, and jellies sold in the Visitor Center.

The Pond Garden

Come and explore our woodland water garden, which showcases native plants that thrive in moist conditions — and plenty of wildlife, too. Be on the lookout for Common Milkweed; Kousa Dogwood; Redvein Enkianthus; American Waterlily; Linden Viburnum; and Bristol Ruby Weigela.
