Have some fun with the family outdoors to celebrate fall at Brookgreen Gardens. The weekend of autumn excitement will include hayrides, a pumpkin patch where you can find a pumpkin to paint, and scarecrow building. There will also be great food, live entertainment and opportunities to meet animals and explore the gardens.
