Pumpkin Smash

Saturday, November 2nd

1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Repurpose your jack-o-lanterns, painted pumpkins, and uncarved, unpainted pumpkins. Keep them out of landfills by turning them into compost for the East Fourth Street Community Garden.

 

Bring your Halloween pumpkins to the garden's annual Pumpkin Smash on Saturday, November 2nd, between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. 

 

The garden folks will provide music, goggles, baseball bats, and snacks.
