Local plant nursery Bainbridge Gardens invites the community to decorate its adjacent nature trail with pumpkins this Halloween. A few beloved film, TV and comic book characters also decided to make an appearance.

The entrance to the Pumpkin Walk is marked by a festive arrangement.

Nearly every pumpkin is decorated, and some use creative ways to build an entire character — such as this wiggler caterpillar from Super Mario.
