I know I am a bit behind in my posts, and I could have waited until this Fall to do this post, but this year's display will be completely different. So, there is no time like the present.
The Arboretum has a pumpkin display each Fall and the theme for the display changes to one of four themes each year. My post in November of 2016 shows the Autumn Arboretum pumpkin display and also the beautiful fall plant and flower displays. The 2016 theme for the Pumpkin Village was "The Art of the Pumpkin". The Village was decorated with mosaics of pumpkins and gourds including one of the State of Texas. The 2017 theme of the Pumpkin Village was the "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". Here are some pictures of the 2017 Village.
We did not make it to the Village until the last day of the display, so many of the pumpkins were gone. I have included some of the pictures from the Arboretum that show some of the displays in their full glory.

I recommend that if you are ever in Dallas in October or November, go to the Dallas Arboretum and see one of the countries best Pumpkin displays.
