Great Glass Pumpkin Patch

This is really an amazing display of beautiful glass. The pictures on Unilocal don’t really do it justice. We attended late on Sunday afternoon and there were still hundreds and hundreds of pumpkins. There were no lines for purchase at this time, and they have some wonderful volunteers that carefully pack them up for you. The pumpkins can be very pricey, but even the small ones are really gorgeous and worth it if you want to start a collection and add to it every year, or gift them. I have been given a few over the years, and after attending this event, I hope to make it back for a small pumpkin every year! I keep my small collection out year-​round because i just think they are so pretty.
If you have kids, you will have to monitor them very closely because these pumpkins are just too tempting, and very hard for them not to touch. Many of the displays are directly on the ground, so it is easy to kick one over if you aren’t watching closely, even though they leave pretty clear paths for walking around them.

So many colorful pumpkin to choose from !
Even if you don’t want to buy one, I would recommend to visit once just to get glimpse of thousands of colorful glass pumpkins. I went there on saturday morning, and place was already crowded. I had to walk almost half a mile from parking lot.
People were enthusiastically roaming around the garden with shopping basket. Make no mistake, Pumpkin were not at all cheap. With smallest one starting from 30 $, I saw price tags of 125 $, 250 $, heck even 350 $ each.
Minus one star for parking & very high pricing. Nevertheless it’s worth a visit

The glass pumpkin patch art exhibit is worth visiting at least once. You get to see a couple hundred glass pumpkins sitting in the grass. It happens each year in October. For 2014, the viewing exhibition is October 7−10^th. Then, the pumpkin sale happens on October 11 – 12.

It’s a great experience to see all the artistic pumpkins. I’ve been going for years and always buy at least one glass pumpkin… But, those glass pumpkins are getting way too expensive and I didn’t buy one this year

I went on Saturdy afternoon expectin to see a hundred pumpkins — there must have been a thousand! So many glass pumpkins just sitting on the ground. Just like a real pumplin patch, only prettier. Fortunately, the weather was gorgeous. We enjoyed waking around looking t the different patterns and colors.

I finally remembered to sign up to volunteer for the even this year. I had seen the pumpkins at Stanford and wondered what a whole grass full of glass pumpkins would look like and now I know. It was simply amazing! It’s really a pumpkin patch for adults. Every pumpkin is different and start at $ 20 up to the hundreds depending on size and color. This event only happens once a year, so be sure to catch it when it comes around!

I go every year and just adore this! There are thousands of beautiful glass pumpkins available for sale. Prices range from $ 25 for a tiny pumpkin to hundreds of dollars for some larger ones. Yesterday, I came home with 4 news ones to add to my collection.
Parking isn’t great but if you wait til the later afternoon, it’s not nearly as bad and there was no line for purchasing when we were there. There truly are thousands so no need to get there early — they will not run out of gorgeous glass goodies!

My best friend took me to this Glass Pumpkin Patch, I loved how beautiful these glass figures are. My reason for minus one star is that parking is bad, the high prices of these pumpkins and the huge line to purchase them in. I was shocked at all the rich ladies that had their baskets full of these pumpkins that easily cost $ 125 each! The pumpkins are laid down on the grass all over the art center outside. It feels like you are at a real pumpkin patch.
Just looking at these pumpkins you melt and really want one, their beauty is traumatizing as if they have a magic spell on them. I almost got a very teeny tiny pumpkin for $ 25, then I saw the long line and almost cried because I had to put my pumpkin back down next to the tree. So I at least got tons of pictures of this event target for the rich only. *tear*

If you love normal pumpkin patches this one will blow your mind. Every pumpkin here is made of glass!
This was the first time I’ve ever attended the Great Glass Pumpkin Patch. This year was the 13^th annual and I can see why it’s been going on so long. The glass pumpkins here are hand-​blown and absolutely amazing. The colors were so bright and beautiful and really made me feel the fall spirit. There were many different artists that provided pumpkins for the patch and I can say every artist contributed amazing pieces.
The pumpkins were sold on Saturday and Sunday, but I know they were on exhibit during the week, along with glass-​blowing demonstrations. I went on Sunday and was worried there would be a limited selection, but to my relief there were still hundreds of pumpkins to choose from. You could spend forever here trying to decide which to buy and change your mind a thousand times. I changed mine twice and settled on two.
All pumpkins purchased help support local artists and assists the Bay Area Glass Institute and Palo Alto Art Center in keeping art alive.
I can’t wait to come back next year!!!
