🎃 A magical pumpkin patch near Göteborg is growing in the Swedish countryside… Think giant pumpkins, muddy boots, autumn wandering and just a hint of Hagrid. ✨
There’s a moment in Harry Potter when you see Hagrid’s hut sitting beside that gloriously wild pumpkin patch—huge pumpkins tucked into the grass, everything a little unruly, a little mysterious, and somehow completely magical.
That is the feeling I keep coming back to this year. 🎃✨
This morning I was out cutting flowers for a bouquet and gathering blooms for wedding flowers this weekend, but my eyes kept wandering over to the pumpkin patch.
The ducks were already there, doing their rounds like tiny feathered groundskeepers. 🦆
Last year, the slugs absolutely feasted on my pumpkins. I lost so many that I’m still personally offended by it. So this year, the ducks have a job: patrol the patch, hunt the slugs, protect the pumpkins.
And the pumpkins are very much worth protecting.
They are not dainty little decorative pumpkins.
They are American-sized pumpkins. 😂🇺🇸🎃
Big, ridiculous, glorious pumpkins—the kind that make me think of Hagrid wandering past them on his way back to his hut.
And behind the scenes, we’ve been adding a little more magic of our own.
Think giant pumpkins, muddy boots, autumn wandering, a touch of mischief…
…and a 3.35 meter tall skeleton. 💀
Wink.
I’ve dreamed of creating an American-style pumpkin patch near Göteborg that feels like stepping into another little world—not just somewhere to buy a pumpkin, but a place for autumn family activities, wandering in nature, ridiculous photos and the kind of core memories that stay with you long after autumn is gone.
So if you’re already searching for things to do in Göteborg this autumn, there might just be a little pumpkin magic waiting for you in the Swedish countryside. 🍂
Hagrid would approve, I think.
More pumpkin patch magic coming soon. 🎃🪄🍂
