Berkshire Botanical Garden opens in spring

by Kate Abbott

BTW column

In BTW columns, I talk in my own voice. I'll tell you how I experience a place or a day, a beehive or a work of art. I'll tell you how it feels and why. And sometimes I'll share places I find and thoughts about my writing or my life.

Trees that looked bare five days ago are shaggy with seed pods, and in the Berkshire Botanical Garden, magnolias are shedding petals. I love seeing things from the inside while people are working in their everyday clothes.

By the Way Berkshires is a digital magazine exploring creative life and community — art and performance, food and the outdoors — and I’m writing it for you, with local voices, because I’ve gotten to know this rich part of the world as a writer and journalist, and I want to share it with you.

If you’d like to see the website grow, you can join me for a few dollars a month, enough for a cup of coffee and a cider doughnut. Members get access to extra stories and multimedia, itineraries a bookmark tool. Let me know what you're looking for, and we’ll explore together.
