Fall at the Gardens: Harvest Illuminated Western Colorado Botanical Gardens
This signature fundraising event continues our partnership with Willy Tuz – renowned artist and carver from Food Network’s “Outrageous Pumpkins” and “Halloween Wars”. And, as in years past, brings together talented artists from around the world to create illuminated sculptures made entirely of pumpkins. Our carving team this year includes returning Food Network competitors and World Ice Art Champions, in addition to very talented artists local to Colorado. Harvest Illuminated is truly an unprecedented attraction, unrivaled on the Western Slope, and has grown exponentially since its inception in 2020.
Proceeds from the event will benefit STRiVE’s person-centered programs, serving children and adults with disabilities. These vital community resources help to ensure our most vulnerable population receives the developmental support they so desperately need. Our mission to support individuals and families has been a mainstay in Mesa County for over 50 years.
