- Carved: The family-friendly Halloween event returns with hundreds of carved pumpkins lining the garden's lit pathways. View sculptures made of sticks and other natural materials and an expanded “Rhizome” installation by Tom and Lien Dekyvere, and don't forget to visit the Pumpkin House. Halloween-themed food and beverages will be available for purchase.
