Halloween is almost upon us. And in the States we are already preparing for the party. To the New York Botanic Garden in fact, an exceptional show will be staged, based on the symbol of the celebrations: the pumpkin: is theHaunted Pumpkin Garden.
Sculptures made of pumpkin, in the shape of insects, bats and so on have already occupied the natural setting of the botanical garden of the Big Apple waiting for October 31, when the dances will officially open.
The idea is to frighten the visitors but the images that we show you below inspire curiosity rather than fear. Just look at the playhouse for children built by stacking pumpkins of various shapes and sizes on top of each other.
Perhaps a little more scary are the dark branches on which a classic Halloween pumpkin has been inserted, carved with the usual grin. And then bees, spiders and millipedes. A riot of green and orange for those who decide to spend the day outdoors.
This weekend it will be up to Ray villafane by Food Network, a famous sculptor specializing in carving and decorating pumpkins, who will delight young and old New Yorkers with his gigantic otherworldly creatures.
