Who doesn’t love a pumpkin patch? Especially one made of thousands of hand-crafted glass pumpkins!

For over 30 years, the Bay Area Glass Institute and the Palo Alto Art Center have sponsored California’s largest Great Glass Pumpkin Patch on the grounds of the Art Center, drawing thousands of visitors from around the country every year. More than 25 artists take months to hand-blow and hand-craft the more than 10,000 beautiful glass pumpkins, which range from teeny-tiny to gargantuan. The pumpkins come in all colors and various shapes.
A percentage of the sales will benefit BAGI and the Palo Alto Art Center Foundation.
