Harvest a pumpkin straight from the fields, carve it and then use it as a vase to design a beautiful floral arrangement. Farmers Arielle and Izzy will guide you through the fields of flowers, where participants may pick their own to add to their festive arrangements. Buckets of harvested florals will also be at the ready for arranging. To register, visit sylvestermanor.org
