A Dallas Fall Tradition
Every autumn, the gardens come alive with one of Dallas’s most beloved seasonal traditions. This year, the Pumpkin Village transforms with Harvest Hues, reimagining modern and contemporary artists. More than 150,000 pumpkins, gourds, and squash fill the garden, including six Pumpkin Houses honoring Basquiat, Rothko, Bourgeois, Mondrian, MC Escher, and Pollock and Krasner. This is the season Dallas paints in Harvest Hues.
Autumn Highlights
Harvest Hues
The Pumpkin Village returns to the garden with a new theme each year, and this year it’s home to Harvest Hues. Six Pumpkin Houses translate the signature styles of modern and contemporary artists into pumpkins, gourds, squash, and harvest materials. Inspiration includes Mondrian’s primary color blocking rebuilt block by block in pumpkins, a towering, spindly spider inspired by Bourgeois perched atop its own house, and Pollock’s controlled chaos interpreted through the many shapes, sizes, and colors of gourds.
