Hello Friday.
March 29 2024
With Halloween coming up, pumpkins are starting to pop up outside every grocery store and big-box chain in the Lowcountry. π
While it may be more convenient to snag a pumpkin during your weekly supermarket sweep, there is something nostalgic about traipsing through the dirt + vines and picking out the perfect jack-o-lantern.
Aside from having hundreds of gourds to choose from, many pumpkin patches have other festive features like corn mazes, apple cider, hayrides, and haunted houses.
So where can you get the full pumpkin patch experience? Keep scrolling for local pumpkin patches open this season.
