Pumpkins

What happens to all the pumpkins? 🤔 Compost and donations! 🌱 The day after Scarecrows in the Garden ends, our horticulture team removes pumpkins, mums and hay bales. Donations are set aside for community partners and the rest to go in the Garden’s compost bin.

How many pumpkins are on the Anne Cox Chambers Flower Walk? ⬇️ Drop your best guess in the comments for a chance to win a 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, or an extension if you've already joined. ✨🌿. The winner will be announced Friday, Oct. 16, and notified via DM from this account.
