Last Halloween season, a few pumpkin seeds somehow found their way into the flower bed outside the RISE Missouri Opportunity Center. Then winter came, spring brought plenty of rain, and summer sunshine helped those little seeds grow into an amazing pumpkin plant!
Now, our SELF Program participants got to harvest their pumpkins and are looking forward to giving them a spooky makeover. What started as a happy accident turned into a fun fall activity and a pretty great pumpkin patch right outside our doors!
We can’t wait to see what our “accidental pumpkins” become! 🎃👻
Happy Halloween!
