The annual Pumpkin Smash will take place from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 7 at the Ron Ory Community Garden Plots, located at 811 S. West Street. Area residents may bring their jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins to be smashed and composted into the soil at the Garden Plots, adding nutrients and water back into the soil. In 2019, more than 5,000 pounds of pumpkins were composted and kept out of the landfill.
Prior to attending the Pumpkin Smash, participants are asked to review the COVID-19 Participation Guidelines for Outdoor Events. For weather cancellation information, visit napervilleparks.org/cancellations.
