Save your pumpkins from the trash and the critters and drop them off right here at the Botanical Gardens for the annual Pumpkin Dump! Farmer Pirates Compost will be composting your pumpkins into usable compost material.
A large trailer will be located at the far entrance of the Botanical Gardens parking lot from November 7 to 9. Please drop your pumpkins off in the trailer between the hours of 10am and 4pm. Bins will be closed after hours to avoid critters and keep them safe for composting!
