Have you ever seen a pumpkin so big it needed a forklift? In this episode, we’ll discover why some fruits grow to amazing sizes while others stay small on purpose.

Join me for the Perfectly Pleasant Pumpkin Class, where we’ll follow a pumpkin’s journey from flower to fruit and peek inside to explore seeds, rinds, and blossoms. Along the way, you’ll discover why pumpkins became a favorite symbol of autumn and create a detailed pumpkin nature journal page of your own!
