The Pumpkin Patch
A LowcountryTradition
The Boone
Hall Pumpkin
Patch started
small but is now
the Lowcountry’s
largest fall festival
and an annual
tradition for many area families.
The Pumpkin Patch, which will
mark its 18th year this fall, also offers
a wide variety of attractions and
events for the whole family.
The centerpiece of the annual
event is an eight-acre corn maze
that is among the largest in the
Southeastern United States. This year
the maze will feature a unique design
presented by the two Mount Pleasant
Chick-fil-A locations.
“Chick-fil-A has always been a
company that focuses on serving
families and communities,” said John
Wrenn, operator of the North Mount
Pleasant store. Josh Malone, operator
of the central Mount Pleasant location,
added, “And the Boone Hall Pumpkin
Patch is a great event that shares those
same values. It’s a good fit.”
This is the tenth year a corn maze
has been a part of the fall festival.
It will be designed by The Maize,
Inc., of Spanish Fork, Utah, which
cuts more than 250 corn mazes
worldwide each year. The cornfield
used for the maze was planted at
the end of July; its growth and
development have been managed by
the Boone Hall Farms staff.
One reason the Boone Hall
Pumpkin Patch draws visitors of
all ages from throughout South
Carolina is that it is more than just Photo courtesy of Boone Hall Plantation.
