Are you ready for fall? Enjoy some fun family time in a natural, outdoor setting at Bode's Moonlight Gardens. Come and pick your own pumpkins from the patch, or choose from the selection we have picked and waiting for you in our shop.
We raise around 60 different varieties of pumpkins, gourds and squash, featuring a wide range of specialty pumpkins, mini-size pumpkins and gourds, winter squash, pie pumpkins and, of course, nice big orange ones for carving Jack O'Lanterns!

Our mentors in the field
We learned the ropes of growing acres of pumpkins from our neighbors, mentors and friends John and Helen Scuffham of Scuffham's Gardens. In 2014, we got started in the commercial pumpkin business with their help. After growing a successful pumpkin wholesale business over the course of many years, they were ready to retire from it. They trained us to take on that opportunity, and we have learned a lot in the process. In 2020, they were ready to retire their u-pick pumpkin patch, and encouraged us to open our own. We are thankful for the help and guidance they have provided to us over the past several years.
