Wednesday, May 6 – Farmers, Fables & Feasts

by

The Food Project welcomes you to a lively evening of delicious food and inspiring stories from our youth at our third annual fundraiser, Farmers, Fables & Feasts, to be held Wednesday, May 6 at the Artists for Humanity EpiCenter, 100 West 2nd Street in South Boston. Join them as they celebrate the remarkable accomplishments they have achieved empowering youth, serving local communities, and stewarding over 70 acres of urban and suburban farmland in the Greater Boston and North Shore regions.

The event will also pay tribute to Byron Hurt–filmmaker, writer, and activist–by honoring him with The Food Project’s 2015 Leadership Award. Mr. Hurt’s latest film, Soul Food Junkies, premiered on the PBS Emmy award-winning series, Independent Lens, and has been the recipient of a CNN documentary award.

Please help support The Food Project’s work with youth, food and the community. The Channel Center Garage, located at 116 West 1st Street, is just a 2 minute walk from the EpiCenter and offers $8 parking after 6 pm. Purchase tickets at http://www.benefit.thefoodproject.org/purchase-tickets/

by

Sheffield is a global hotspot for rare species and Bartholomew’s Cobble puts on one of the best shows of spring ephemerals from mid-April to mid-May. Come greet the rich variety of wildflowers on Saturday, April 25 from 10 – noon, and leave with an understanding of how to help identify and protect these gems of our native flora not just in conservation lands, but in your own yard and the open spaces of your community.

A Trustees of Reservations naturalist will reveal what makes this particular environment so well-suited to rare and diverse plants and explain what the Cobble is doing to protect the natural resilience of this landscape. You’ll see trilliums, trout-lilies, Dutchman’s breeches, wild ginger and many more! Please pre-register at http://www.thetrustees.org/things-to-do/berkshires/event-894.html?. The cost for TTOR members is $5, nonmembers $8.
