It’s time for another fun, family-friendly fall event! You can’t go wrong with a trip to Sever’s Fall Festival or Pinehaven Farm. But there are plenty of other great autumn attractions to add to your bucket list. That includes the event we’d like to feature today: Scarecrows in the Garden at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Take part in this event to spend some time outside, admire the gorgeous gardens decked out in their fall colors, and take in some unique art. If that sounds good to you, read on below to learn more.
If you’ve ever been to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, you know that this attraction - located in Chaska - is a Minnesota treasure. It’s a 1,200-acre garden packed with beautiful scenes and fun things to do.

The garden is wonderful all year. But many people flock to it in the fall especially, when interesting autumn-themed events take place. In addition to the lovely colors of the changing leaves and fall flowers, you’ll find pumpkin displays, apples, and more.

One fun fall event this year is Scarecrows in the Garden. The Arboretum team, as well as teams from Bachman’s, created several fun and colorful scarecrows to display in the garden.
