Spring arrives early at Berkshire Botanical Garden.
The Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge is offering the perfect solution to the winter doldrums with its annual Bulb Show, beginning Feb. 20. Depending on how long the bulbs bloom, the show is estimated to run until about March 20.
Inside the Fitzpatrick Conservatory, hundreds of tulips, daffodils and grape hyacinths will be waiting to give visitors a welcome taste of spring.
Some rarer blooms to look for are the “Hoop Petticoat Daffodil” (Narcissus bulbocodium) and three from South Africa: “African Corn Flag” (Chasmanthe bicolor), “Fairy Bells” (Melasphaerula ramosa) and “Forest Lily” (Veltheimia bracteata).
Preparation for the bulb show begins in summer, when bulbs are chosen and ordered. They are planted in fall and then spend about 15 weeks at temperatures simulating winter.
Eric Ruquist, director of horticulture at BBG, explained. “We have
two small, air-conditioned rooms, or CoolBots, in the basement. We pull out our pots of bulbs in three stages. The first pull was Feb. 7, and since we didn’t get too much sun last week, they are off to a bit of a slow start, but they are all budded up and I’m sure we will have blooming bulbs for our opening day.”
A point of interest besides the blooms is the display of succulents. Ruquist said to look for “hens and chicks, aloes, agave and sedum.”
“The Bulb Show is BBG’s gift to the community,” Ruquist said. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. Multiple visits are encouraged to enjoy a range of blooms.
Berkshire Botanical Garden is located at 5 W. Stockbridge Road, Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

Natalia Zukerman opens Stissing Center’s new speakeasy, The Grace Note.
The Stissing Center officially opened The Grace Note on Friday, Feb. 13, a new speakeasy-style venue aimed at turning Friday nights into a weekly home for local and regional talent.
Hidden in the basement of The Stissing Center, The Grace Note certainly has the feel of a speakeasy, with its brick walls, dim lights and fully stocked bar. Executive Director Patrick Trettenero welcomed the first sold-out crowd and said the inspiration for the reimagined venue came from a desire to offer performances that connect audiences with artists in an intimate setting.
The debut performance featured Natalia Zukerman, Compass Arts & Entertainment editor and Stissing Center advisory board member, who will also co-manage booking for the space as it rolls out weekly programming. From the moment she stepped onto the stage, Zukerman held the audience in the palm of her hand, leaving concert-goers hanging on her every word. There were moments of raucous laughter and moments when you could hear a pin drop.
A storyteller at heart, Zukerman wove an introspective thread throughout the night, exploring how connection, art and beauty can exist even amid injustice and a relentless news cycle. Between songs, she offered commentary and her personal reflections, while her lyrics echoed many of the same themes.
The Grace Note will be open every Friday night. For a schedule of upcoming performances and to purchase tickets, visit thestissingcenter.org
