Save your pumpkins from the trash and the critters and drop them off right here at the Botanical Gardens for the third annual Pumpkin Drop-Off! Buffalo River Compost will be composting your pumpkins into usable compost material.

Large bins will be located at the far entrance of the Botanical Gardens Parking Lot November 1-3. Please drop your pumpkins off into the bins between the hours of 10am and 4pm. Bins will be closed after hours to avoid critters and keep them safe for composting!
