In autumn, our Lost Hollow Children’s Garden transforms to Scarecrow Hollow, a delightful collection of creatively-designed scarecrows crafted by our community. These scarecrows can be silly, spooky or anything in between and we love browsing Scarecrow Hollow to find our favorites designed by individuals, schools, organizations and families. Visit Stowe between September 26-November 1 to explore Scarecrow Hollow!
