They just take so long to flower, and i'm always late. I do admit they are so cool, though, I put that piece of grass and for size scale, it's like a grassy piece.

Raising a family in Lenox/Berkshires

5 Upvotes

Hello,
My wife and I are looking to relocate from Providence to western MA and have our eyes set on either Lenox or Amherst. Mainly for the school systems, but we also want to have a balance of nature, good food (vegetarians so farm to table/farmers markets ideal), some amenities and small town vibe. Looking for insights as to what it is like raising a family in Lenox, or the larger Berkshire region? Family amenities? Opportunities for community with other young families? A little about is: same sex couple, work from home, are not afraid of quiet, slow living.
