How many squash and pumpkins can you spot at Bloedel Reserve? If you’re visiting us this October, the answer is less than 100. Due to the long, wet spring and short, hot summer, our crop produced far less than we’d hoped!
When you arrive, pick up a Have a Hoot Hunt map at the start of the trail. Or use the link below to download a map before you come (coming soon).
Our woodland owls will lead you on an all-ages scavenger hunt through the gardens in search of gourds, squash and pumpkins! Stop, explore, and snap a photo of yourselves with our friendly garden guides. On the back of the map, you’ll find photos and much more information about this diverse family of vegetables. Guess the weight of our largest pumpkin this year at the Residence and win prizes at the Shop at the Gatehouse when you complete the scavenger hunt. Please bring a pen or pencil with you to write down the answers on your map.
Timed tickets are required for admission.
