Boo the Pumpkin

Boo the Pumpkin was gifted to Little Green Change by Hubbub at the Purpose Summit 2023 (a Global Good Awards event), held at BMA House in London. We’re tracking Boo’s movements across counties to promote the #EatYourPumpkin campaign, and sustainable modes of transport.

Boo will be paying a visit to a number of Little Green Change friends, charities, and places along the way, in the run up to Halloween, to help spread these eco messages. Check out Boo’s journey so far below.

to do some bulb planting. The daffodils will flower each Spring, helping to feed bees & other beneficial insects.

Great work, Boo.

Boo's visiting lots of pumpkin friends

at Dewflock Farm in Dorchester. We‘re hoping the people that take them home eat and compost them after Halloween.

Will you #EatYourPumpkin?

Yes, it's yummy

No, but I will compost it

Boo's at Lyme Regis Library

taking out some free, #spooky, #Halloween children's books, audio CD's, and #gardening books - great for tips on how to grow your own pumpkin next year. Have you got a library card yet?

Yes, I borrow free books from my local library

No, I need to get one

Halloween day.

It's carving time

Little Green Change's kitchen is a busy place with little hands scooping out the edible flesh.

They're also separating the seeds, ready to wash, dry and store for planting next year.
