Stenciling & Carving Pumpkins at Reiman Gardens

Reiman Gardens is gearing up for our annual pumpkin stenciling and carving event in October. Every year, hundreds of jack o' lanterns are featured throughout the Gardens during our annual Spirits in the Gardens community event. This year, Spirits in the Gardens will be held October 11-13.

Individuals and groups are welcome to volunteer! Tracing materials, carving tools, and pumpkins are provided by Reiman Gardens. All pumpkins must stay onsite. Volunteers must be 13+ years old to carve. Space is limited!

We may cancel later shifts if pumpkins run out. Sign up for the earliest shifts you can.

All shifts are 2 hours long. Click on the calendar to see specific shift times.
