Every year during Autumn in the Botanic Garden, we showcase Scarecrow submissions made locally by students, artists, families, friends, businesses and organizations. Our guests vote on their favorite to win the People’s Choice Award! This year we had a record 38 scarecrows!  They included scarecrows depicting famous works of art, 1 with sound effects, 2 scarecrow couples getting engaged, and scarecrows made by students from pre-K through high school.  All our scarecrow entries are in the gallery below. 

Drumroll please…🥁⁠
