Join us at PHCF on Sunday, July 3rd at 3pm for a FREE Wonderspark Puppets puppet show – The Little Red Hen! The classic story of a Hen who needs YOUR help to make some bread! The Little Red Hen is an interactive play that gets kids moving their bodies, calling out and laughing!
Every animal on the farm wants to eat the Hen’s bread, but no one wants to help make it. We will learn the benefits of helping out and teamwork while exercising and singing along! Geared towards kids age 0-3 but all are welcome!
Puppet show will run approximately 35-40 minutes

They have partnered with brands like Bed Bath & Beyond, CAMP, NYC Public Schools and the New York Public Library. They have toured internationally, bringing original productions and puppetry workshops to festivals in Thailand and Taiwan. Since mid-March 2020 they have been streaming live puppet shows for families in quarantine and streaming schools. Their mission is to spread joy, spark imagination and share laughter through high quality puppet performances.
A group of 8th grade Berkeley Carroll students and their teachers delivered a Little Free Pantry to our garden on June 1st as part of a community action project.
The 15 x 15 x 26 pantry was built by the students and will be stocked with non-perishable items for the benefit of our neighbors. The pantry follows the well-known model of the Little Free Libraries seen around the city. PHCF also has a Victory Garden fresh food giveaway every Sunday. The Victory Garden and food pantry are our modest efforts to address food insecurity in our neighborhood.
Come on out to PHCF’s Annual Plant Sale on May 21 & 22 from noon – 6 pm!
We’ll be offering PHCF home grown tomatoes, herbs, vegetables, annual & perennials plus houseplants too!
