Botanical garden to get bugged out

The 16th annual Autumn at the Arboretum returns September 18 through October 31 with more than 90,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash, hailing from THE pumpkin capital of Texas, Floydada, throughout the garden. The signature display comes alive with larger-than-life insect topiaries, fascinatingly bugged-out 20-foot-tall pumpkin houses, and, of course, a maze for younger visitors. Special events, live music and Halloween festivities round out this favorite fall festival. The festival features the popular Mommy and Me Mondays and Tiny Tot Tuesdays, a hay bale maze, a pumpkin patch with pumpkins for purchase, live music and more.
