Glass pumpkin patch returns

Los Gatos High School will again play host to the Magical Glass Pumpkin Patch this fall when the 19th annual event returns to the LGHS front lawn on Oct. 23.

While the pumpkin patch will only be set up for a day as opposed to an entire weekend—as was usual pre-pandemic—the event will still feature thousands of glass pumpkins created by dozens of local artists, who will be on hand to talk about their work. Sales support high school art, English and leadership projects and fund field trips, guest speakers and art supplies, equipment and materials. In its 19-year history, the pumpkin patch has raised more than $250,000 toward these programs.

The glass pumpkin patch, at 20 High School Court, will be open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, visit https://magicalglasspumpkinpatch.com.
