Scarecrow Hollow is an eclectic display of original scarecrows for you to enjoy with the whole family!

Come explore the Garden and have fun seeing these local creations as we celebrate fall! While some Scarecrows are traditional, some are space age, and others are made of live plants, each one is a magical contribution to our fall festivities! Each Scarecrow is unique and is designed by members, supporters, and local organizations.

Local community members and organizations are encouraged to create their own Scarecrow and participate in our competition!

Scarecrows were on display at the Garden from October 4 through November 5 in 2023. Come back next year to learn how you can participate in the 2024 Scarecrow Hollow!
