Be dazzled by our showcase of hundreds of creative jack-o’-lanterns (carved by artists, celebrities, dignitaries, local businesses, and friends and neighbors). Plus, enjoy a full musical lineup and strolling performers, family-friendly educational activities, and delicious eats from local food vendors, beer, wine & spirits.

Garden Glow Volunteer Pumpkin Carving Workshop
Help Ladew staff carve hundreds of pumpkins to be featured in Garden Glow. We'll provide the pumpkins, some design patterns, and the carving
tools... you bring your creative ideas (and your own carving tools, if preferred). For ages 16 and up.
To register, visit: https://ladewgardens.volunteerhub.com/vv2/.
Dates TBD
If you are unable to see these shifts on Volunteer Hub, please contact Caroline Graf at cgraf@ladewgardens.com.

Add to Our Display
You’re invited to carve a pumpkin or create your own illuminated “glow” sculpture to be included among the works on display. Use your own pumpkin or arrange to pick up a complimentary pumpkin at Ladew. Klein’s ShopRite has generously donated 800 pumpkins for Garden Glow…and there’s one waiting for you.

Dates TBD
To coordinate your pumpkin pick-up, and for questions, contact Caroline Graf at cgraf@ladewgardens.com or 410.557.9570, x 261.
