Designed for curious minds and spirited exchange, this Meet Up offers a joyful, thoughtful way for OLLI at BCC members to experience Paris through art, history, and the enduring connection between American and French culture.

    Ornamental Alternatives: 
    Replacing Invasives with Beautiful 
    Natives that Restore a Healthy Home Landscape
    with Chris Ferrero


    June 2 and 3, 2026
    10:00 - 11:30 a.m.

    Hybrid: Online and in-person at Berkshire Community College

    Official invasive plant lists have unmasked the "bad actors" in home landscapes, but some of these culprits are beloved for their blooms, shade performance or fall foliage. This program highlights common trees, shrubs, vines, and perennials from MA's "prohibited" lists, and offers native alternatives with superior flowers, fragrance, fruits & fall color, plus value to pollinators and birds. 

    Chris Ferrero trained as a Cornell Master Gardener in New York where she led demonstration garden teams, plant propagation workshops, and alternatives-to-invasives work groups. She regularly consults on challenges like shade gardening, deer deterrence, and pollinator gardening with native perennials and flowering shrubs, and her 20 talks keep her busy speaking to garden clubs and master gardener symposiums. Formerly a corporate marketing director, she has retired to Stockbridge, MA near the Berkshire Botanical Garden, where she serves on the faculty and also sits on the Horticulture Advisory Committee.

    This lecture will be recorded and available for viewing at the convenience of registrants.

    The OLLI Distinguished Speakers Series presents:

    Making Sense of Grape Scents

    with Professor Cynthia Holland

    Wednesday, June 10 at 7:00 p.m. ET

    Online via Zoom

    Sponsored by Kimball Farms Life Care


    Plants produce a wide array of airborne molecules, or volatiles, that function in attracting pollinators, deterring herbivores, and communicating with their surroundings. The volatile methyl anthranilate, which is responsible for the characteristic grape aroma, is emitted by grapes, citrus, maize, and other flowering plants. This talk will highlight the Holland lab’s discovery of how methyl anthranilate is synthesized in grapes and will preview current experimental evidence on plant detection and response to volatiles. 

    Cynthia Holland is an Assistant Professor in the Biology department at Williams College, where she teaches courses on molecular biology and biochemistry. Before starting at Williams in 2020, she pursued her PhD in Plant and Microbial Biosciences at Washington University in St. Louis, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Boyce Thompson Institute in Ithaca, NY. Cynthia’s research lab investigates the enzymes that plants use to produce molecules with commercial and pharmaceutical relevance. Recently, the Holland lab has identified the enzymes from grapes that are used to produce the volatile responsible for grape aroma. Current experiments focus on how plants may perceive airborne aromas and the implications for plant-to-plant communication. This project has been funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation through a five-year CAREER award.
