Fall is just around the corner and you know what that means – it’s almost Halloween! This year, pumpkin patches may look a bit different.
While there may not be crowds of people at your local pumpkin patches, that doesn’t mean you can’t still go out and pick up your future jack-o-lantern.
Not all of Victoria’s pumpkin patches are open for business this year, but we have compiled a list of five that are up and running, and are ready to welcome pumpkin pickers!
Not only are there pumpkins to be taken home from these farms, but some boast corn mazes, sunflower yoga, and lavender fields.
Take a peek through this list to discover all the fall-inspired activities available to you in and around the Greater Victoria Area.
