10th Annual Ecological Gardening Symposium: Rooted in Place
November 10 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
Rooted in Place will be held on Sunday, Nov. 10, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Berkshire Botanical Garden.
Theme: Pollutants and Climate: Hopeful Applications in Berkshire County
We need acts of restoration, not only for polluted waters and degraded lands but also for our relationship with the world. We need to restore honor to the way we live so that when we walk through the world we don’t have to avert our eyes with shame, so that we can hold our heads up high and receive the respectful acknowledgment of the rest of the earth’s beings.
— Robin Wall Kimmerer, “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants”
In collaboration with Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT), Berkshire Botanical Garden presents Rooted in Place, our annual ecological symposium. This year we will inspire participants with insights into our ecological past, present and future. We will explore the impact of pollutants and climate change on the Berkshires and beyond and reflect on what is classically known as the Four Elements of Nature: earth, water, air, and fire. The event will take place on Sunday, Nov. 10, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., here at BBG.
