When visiting the pumpkin patch gardens please be very
careful about where you walk. Pumpkin growers go to
extremes to avoid compacting their soil and trampling
vines and leaves. Unless told otherwise by your host,
please stay on the perimeter of any cultivated area.
The grower may have paths or access routes, but please
get instructions /permission before venturing beyond
the grassy or compacted area that mark the garden
boundary. The host will lead the tour to point out
things of interest and to answer questions. Hosts may
have light snacks and/or beverages available. 
 


For more information please contact the PNWGPG at:
