Pumpkins & Pints 2023 at Arch in Bloom was worth waiting for after being rescheduled twice.
On Sunday the skies cleared and the retail shop and the nursery buzzed with activity. There was a live music, a s’mores station, pumpkin painting, hot dogs, and of course, there were pints.

Arch in Bloom’s owner Derek D’Andrea takes great pride in staging the annual Halloween event, sourcing pieces for his displays year round. Inside the shop the animatronics this year are over the top, including a busy witch talking to customers while tending her simmering cauldron.
In addition to the nursery and garden center, Arch in Bloom is a full-service landscape design company. D’Andrea specializes in hand-drawn designs and homegrown goods.
If you missed the event, there’s still time to check out the displays and shop for pumpkins, perennials and Halloween items.
Arch in Bloom is located at 201 Pemberwick Rd. (203) 550-1235
