STOCKBRIDGE – Berkshire Botanical Garden presents the following upcoming programs. Friday, Nov. 21, 6 to 8 p.m., “Thanksgiving Centerpiece Workshop.” Hilary Collingwood of Moonflower Farm will guide you step-by-step in designing a stunning Thanksgiving centerpiece. Whether you’re hosting dinner or simply want to bring a little autumn magic into your home, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind arrangement and the skills to make more. All vessels and plant materials are provided. Cost $90 members, $110 nonmembers; Saturday, Nov. 22 or Sunday, Nov. 23, “Crafting a Holiday Wreath from Fresh and Dried Botanicals.” This three-hour program on your choice of Nov. 22 or Nov. 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., will combine a classroom introduction with guided hands-on practice using 14-inch balsam wreath forms, after which you will take home your own decorated holiday wreath. Chris Ferrero will lead this class, starting with a slide program introducing principles, techniques and creative ideas. Then participants will be assigned workstations in the same studio used by BBG’s wreath designers, several of whom will be on hand to help you select materials and practice optimal construction skills. Experience with a hot glue gun is recommended. Cost is $100 members, $130 nonmembers. To register for either class visit www.berkshirebotanical.org.
