Hitchcock Harvest 2025

Hitchcock Harvest: A Celebration of Sustainability

Harvesting hope for more than 60 years – one petal at a time!

Sunday, October 19, 2025
3 PM – 6 PM
Rain or shine in Hitchcock Center’s gardens

The Hitchcock Center has been sowing seeds of change and educating for a healthy planet in the Valley for more than 60 years. Come together in community to enjoy local food & libations in our Brew Garden & wander through interactive stations themed around the petals of the Living Building — Place, Water, Energy, Health & Happiness, Materials, Equity, and Beauty. See what local innovators, and Hitchcock Center, are doing to show what it means to shape a hopeful, resilient future.

Follow the petals of possibility at each petal station — learn about each petal in practice; respond to a prompt at each petal station and add your reflections to the collective art project, collect all 7 stamps at each station and get a full drink & be entered into a raffle!
