Happy Halloween from our family to yours! 🧡

The biggest thank you to all of you who have visited and supported us this year. Like many British growers, 2024 has been the toughest growing season we have ever known, (thank you British weather!) Your support has meant more this year than ever. 🎃 Whether you joined us on one of the few sunny days we had, or if you embraced the mud, we hope you made some wonderful memories to cherish!

We owe a huge thank you to all of our friends and family who have made up the pumpkin team this year to help us make everything run smoothly. We are so grateful and couldn’t do it without you! 🧡 Thank you also to The Two Tossers Neapolitan Style Pizzas , Mimi’s Horsebox and In the Den Photography, it’s been a pleasure working with you all and we look forward to next time!

We’ll now start the process of packing away and planning Pumpkin Season 2025….. Whatever that brings us, we hope you’ll join us again to find out! Follow along to see what we get up to along the way.

We’d love to see any photos of your visits or pumpkin creations in the comments. 📷

All our love,

The Pumpkin Patch Family 🧡
