Tuesday July 12, 10:00-12:00

Please join SML staff and others to see garden landscapes, outdoor sculpture, and the first of three indoor installations to be presented this summer and fall at the Berkshire Botanical Garden’s Leonhardt Galleries. The exhibition is curated by the collector, curator, and museum trustee, Beth Rudin DeWoody. In addition to the art-focused garden and gallery walk, some visitors may choose to take BBG’s guided botanical tour at 11 a.m. after viewing art on site from 10-11 a.m. Admission is free on Tuesdays.

Members of the SML group will take separate cars (or carpool) to meet at the BBG at 10. (The drive from Salisbury is approximately 40 minutes.) We can assist with carpooling if needed..
