Berkshire Botanical Garden proudly presents the GROW SHOW!

The Grow Show embodies a rich 42-year Berkshires tradition with fun and fanciful opportunities for gardeners of all abilities to show what they grow in a juried exhibition. We are delighted this year to offer a Garden Photography Competition in association with Berkshire Museum Camera Club featuring three divisions open to all!  We look forward to seeing you at the Grow Show!

Horticulture Division

Flowers and vegetables. . .over 50 classes to choose from!  Whether you bring a single flower (we even provide the vase!) or a bushel basket full of vegetables, it's free to enter and fun to win!

No registration required - bring entries to the Garden Saturday, August 6, 8 - 10 am   

Design Division

It's your time to shine!  We have six design divisions that provide multiple opportunities to show off the beauty and diversity of plants and flowers that you grow in your own garden or find elsewhere.  For instance, enter "Forest Glen," a contemporary all-green arrangement or "Berkshire Bounty," a traditional arrangement using all native materials including fruit, vegetables and flowers.

Youth Division

We have a special category for our youngest gardeners, ages 5-12.  Please join us for a free pre-show workshop Friday August 5, 10 - 11 am when you can create entries with your children for both classes: "For the Birds," and "Color Me Beautiful."  All materials will be provided! Every entry receives an award!
