Join us for a FaBOOlous Pumpkin Painting + Fall Floral Party at Rose Farm! Celebrate the magic of autumn with an afternoon of creativity, flowers, and festive fun on Saturday, October 17th from 12:30–3:00 PM. Kick off the festivities by grabbing a paintbrush and transforming your very own pumpkin into a Halloween masterpiece. You'll enjoy hot apple cider while the wonderfully creative Christine Hilbert guides you through the painting process, making it easy (and fun!) to create a pumpkin you'll be proud to display all season long. Once you're feeling thoroughly in the Halloween spirit, wander through Rose Farm's four gardens to harvest a bucket overflowing with the season's most beautiful blooms. Then gather for a floral design demonstration with Karri Rose, who will share her favorite tips and techniques for creating a stunning fall arrangement to enjoy at home. Whether you're coming with friends, family, or simply looking for a festive afternoon to yourself, this FaBOOlous celebration is the perfect way to welcome the beauty of the season.
