SAINT PAUL (April 30, 2019) The date has changed! And the plants are now seeds—the same seeds being planted at Frogtown Farm! Poetry and Seeds! in the Park in the Dark celebration will be at Frogtown Farm on June 13 at 7 p.m. Poetry and art will light up the night via solar-powered rocks created by students at Imhotep Science Academy in Saint Paul.

Poetry and Seeds! in the Park in the Dark will celebrate the publication of ten poems and ten visual art pieces combined for a total of ten broadside posters connected to food and the land. Plus, we will have a free seed giveaway—the same seeds that are being planted this season at Frogtown Farm.

At the party, each poet will read their poem and each artist will discuss their creative process. Frogtown Farm will give away free seeds too! We will have a beautiful meal and celebrate poetry, art, seeds, and plants.

The public is invited. We hope you can make it and spend some time in the beauty of Frogtown Farm.

This project is made possible with the support of Knight Foundation through its Knight Arts Challenge, the McKnight Foundation, and the Minnesota State Arts Board through an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature from the State’s arts and cultural heritage fund with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
