In its third year, Adam Bierton returns for the Fall-O-Ween season finale to carve a giant pumpkin! From last year’s 2,246-lb. pumpkin, a botanical beast with tentacles emerged after 21 hours of scraping, chiseling, carving, and detailing. This year, Adam and a team of carvers return to once again transform a giant pumpkin sourced by the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth into an organic masterpiece.
Learn more about these gargantuan fruits here, and be sure to share your carving ideas on social with #GiantPumpkinsNYBG—Adam just might choose your request for this year’s giant carve!
