Pick the perfect pumpkin during the month of October at St. John’s Episcopal Church Pumpkin Patch.

The church will have a large assortment of pumpkins and gourds from October 2 through October 31 on the front lawn at 237 Pleasant Street, Franklin. Visitors can shop Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 p.m., as well as Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.

Adding to the fun, children can enjoy games and activities on the front lawn.

The pumpkins and gourds are grown on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico and provide jobs for its people. The growers use sustainable farming practices, so they’re gentle on the earth.

So grab a gourd. Select a squash. Pick your perfect pumpkin and remember: it’s cool to shop local!
