The Wheat Field Volunteers

You are invited to a Weeding by “The Wheat Field Volunteers”

What are these weeds anyway? How can we use them?

When: Saturday May 1, 11am to 1pm.

Broad Street, between Jefferson and Madison, Frog Hollow, Hartford, CT.

Rain Date: Sunday May 2.

The Kindness and Imagination Development Society (K.I.D.S.) will bring together human volunteers and plant volunteers for a big volunteer party.

We human volunteers will pull plant volunteers (a.k.a. weeds) out of the wheat field, identify the plants using field guides, and use them to make costumes, jewelry, flower bouquets and edible salads for our party.

All are welcome. Come play with us. Volunteers of the world unite!

Through planting and harvesting a field of wheat in Hartford’s Frog Hollow neighborhood BREAD CYCLE WORKS is interested in engaging people in a communal way in order to affirm our relationship to the land and the physical and metaphoric sustaining qualities of bread. We aim to celebrate a multicultural calendar of rites and community activities associated with planting and harvesting. The breads we bake from the wheat will be shared with the Frog Hollow Community and volunteers and eaten at a fiesta.
