Board of Water Supply offers pumpkin planting, harvesting

HALAWA—The Honolulu Board of Water Supply is offering a pumpkin planting and harvesting workshop on Saturday, July 9 at the Halawa Xeriscape Garden. Open to the public, the workshop will allow participants to plant their own pumpkin, and harvest it in time for Halloween on Saturday, October 29.

Pumpkins are low water use plants. The workshop will discuss the pumpkin’s life cycle and its “unthirsty” or xeriscape characteristics, complete a pumpkin fun workbook, and enjoy a lively storytelling session. Participants will also have the opportunity to plant pumpkin seeds on “Pumpkin Hill.”

Located in Halawa Valley, the Halawa Xeriscape Garden offers educational tours to the public, providing information on plants and practices that conserve water in gardening and landscaping.
