🎃🏆 GIANT PUMPKIN CONTEST WINNERS! 🏆🎃

First, a HUGE thank you to everyone who purchased pumpkin starts or seeds from Forestburg Garden Center this season, and to everyone who entered our contest! It warms our hearts to see our community growing with us. 💚

This year’s contest required entries to be grown from pumpkin starts or seeds purchased from our greenhouse. Before announcing our winners, though, we have one very special pumpkin to recognize!

🌟 HONOURABLE MENTION: Sean Sheedy & PRISCILLA! 🌟

Although Priscilla wasn’t grown from seeds or a start purchased from our greenhouse, this incredible giant deserves a moment in the spotlight! Had she qualified, she would have won by a landslide! 😁

🎃 Priscilla’s measurements:
• Around: 10 feet 11 inches
• Side to side: 7 feet 10 inches
• Front to back: 6 feet 10 inches
• Weight: a whopping 629.0 lbs!

Sean Sheedy, to celebrate your incredible growing efforts, we’d like to award you a FREE hanging basket or planter of your choice, plus a FREE pumpkin start for the 2027 season! 👏
