What did one Jack-o-lantern say to the other?
Cut it out!
Speaking of Jack-o-lanterns… Out in Carefree, Arizona, the town’s annual Enchanted Pumpkin Garden has just opened up for the season!
Walk around Carefree Desert Gardens’ 4-acre botanical park in October and you’ll experience a wonderland full of whimsical pumpkin vignettes and carvings!
It’s downright autumnal!!
Here’s some of the crazy-cool and sometimes funny pumpkin art from previous years…!
Wheee!
The primary artist behind the Enchanted Pumpkin Garden is Ray Villafane, a well-known expert in pumpkin carving.
In fact, Martha Stewart called him the “Michelangelo of pumpkin carving.” (!!)
Here’s one of his carved pieces!
Listen to him speak about Carefree’s Enchanted Pumpkin Garden on this year’s opening day…
