Take a photo at the Pumpkin House

The Dixon Pumpkin House is coming back this October!

The Dixon Gardens boast blooming plants in every season, but in autumn, the gardens come alive with magical fall color. This year, the Pumpkin House will be on display once again. Built with hundreds of pumpkins, it provides the perfect photo opportunity for friends and family. Join us to celebrate the season and continue a new Dixon tradition!
