Pumpkin Picking Fun

Pumpkin-picking adventure brings autumn fun for Portishead nursery children

Pumpkin picking was top of the list for children from The Nursery on Combe Road in Portishead when they recently enjoyed an autumn adventure at Triggols Farm’s pumpkin patch in Tickenham.

Pulling on their wellies, the youngsters immersed themselves in the sights and colours of autumn in the North Somerset countryside, surrounded by pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, wheelbarrows and colourful fallen leaves.

Gaye Holman, who leads community initiatives at The Nursery, said: “When they arrived, the children were completely in awe of just how many pumpkins they could see. They were also fascinated by the variety of shapes, sizes and colours.

“Activities at The Nursery are all about creating awe and wonder for our children, so it’s wonderful to see them enjoying off-site adventures and discovering new experiences. Pumpkin picking is definitely an annual favourite – the children have so much fun!”

After exploring the pumpkin patch, the children took some pumpkins back to the nursery to show their friends and discover what was inside, extending their autumn adventures back in to the classroom.
