‘Tis (nearly) the season for strolling down straw-strewn aisles and sipping hot apple cider as you search for that just-right pumpkin to bring home. But after lovingly dusting off your squash, scooping out its seeds and carving it into a ghoulish masterpiece, your pumpkin inevitably ends up in the compost heap come November.
Enter: The traveling glass pumpkin patch. Pick out your perfect (or perfectly odd) pumpkin from gourds of all shapes, sizes and colors. Instead of saying goodbye when the season ends, a permanent glass pumpkin can sparkle on your mantlepiece or porch year after year.
“I love seeing adults hunt for their perfect glass pumpkin,” says Tacoma Glassblowing Studio co-owner Jeannine Sigafoos. “The childlike joy on their faces when they find the one is priceless.”
Each glass pumpkin patch is totally unique and buzzing with fall energy. Find your perfect local patch:
