Pumpkin Circle Project

The Pumpkin Circle Project includes an award-winning video and picture book. Together they present and celebrate the amazing cycle of nature unfolding in a backyard pumpkin patch. Life in the pumpkin garden is captured across the seasons with time-lapse photography of seeds sprouting, flowers opening, bees buzzing, pumpkins growing and jack-o-lanterns glowing. This is the epic saga of pumpkins for all ages and all times - a story to inspire the scientist, sculptor, chef, naturalist and teller of tall tales. Danny Glover narrates the award-winning Pumpkin Circle video with original music by George Winston on piano, harmonica and guitar. It received the GOLD AWARD from Parents' Choice Magazine and was selected as Editor's Choice by BOOKLIST. Information on purchasing the video and picture book can be found on the Pumpkin Circle Project web site or call toll-free: 1-800-827-0949.
