2nd Annual Pumpkin Smash

Every fall, the U.S. produces over one billion pounds of pumpkins--and most of those are used for Halloween decorations and then thrown out. We can save this season’s pumpkins from the landfill--and have fun doing it!

The 2nd Annual Pumpkin Smash is a fun, family-friendly event focused on sustainable gardening practices. The event includes the chance to bring and smash carved jack-o-lanterns for composting, sample pumpkin-themed treats, and watch pumpkins launched through the air.
