A note on subscriptions
Subscriptions, soon.
Barberry Garden is moving to a small membership model — three tiers, one personal balance, and the occasional lecture. Here is what each will cost when the gate opens.
Contributor
Your own working notebook.
Everything in Reader, plus a private cellar for the bottles you keep, tools for your own tasting notes, and the organisational kit for running your own gatherings on the platform.
Subscription fee. Does not add to balance.
Patron
Support the project.
Everything in Contributor, plus credit on a personal balance you can spend on paid services available on the platform. Priority invitations to closed educational community meetings, when they happen.
Pick the level that fits — the perks are the same at each.
The wallet

No subscription needed
One-time top-ups
Not subscribed but want to top up your balance once, or simply support the project? One-time top-ups follow the same minimum and the same rules — no recurring commitment.
Standalone educational content
Lectures
Occasional lectures are priced separately. The fee can be drawn from your balance, with details published in each announcement.
The gate isn't open yet. Tiers and pricing may change before launch. If you'd like a heads-up when the first plans go live, write to boris@barberry.io. The legal terms that will govern subscriptions and the balance live in the public offer.
