Parking Update

Due to necessary adjustments to the scope of the geothermal work that is occurring in front of Lyman there will be NO accessible parking in front of Lyman for approximately the next two weeks. The closest handicap accessible parking space on College Lane is about 200 yards south of Lyman (just north of the Smith Conference Center). If Lyman guests need this space and assistance getting closer to Lyman there is a number posted on an adjacent sign where guests can call for a ride that will get them to within 30 yards of Lyman. Please call 413-585-2742 for more information if needed.

2023-24 Impact Report

Each year, the botanic garden takes time to review the past 12 months to ensure our work aligns with our mission and advances the goals outlined in our strategic plan. We assess our workshops, the classes held in our spaces, and the many ways students have engaged with our resources. This information is compiled into our annual Impact Report—a valuable opportunity to celebrate milestones, reflect on accomplishments both big and small, and renew our commitment to growing and improving.

We are excited to share that our 2023-24 Impact Report is now live on our website. We invite you to explore all we’ve achieved together over the past year!
