Make A Scarecrow

Independence Blvd. Location ONLY

McDonald Garden Center is excited to announce the 29th annual Make a Scarecrow event is on for 2025! Join us, rain or shine, September 13-14, 2025 at 9am - 4pm at our Independence Blvd. location. Bring the family to create your very own, custom, life-size scarecrow. Your purchase includes everything you need to make 1 scarecrow (stake, wheat straw, collection of clothes, and accessories), but feel free to bring your own accessories to personalize your scarecrow.

McDonald Garden Center, partnered with The King’s Daughters, the founding organization of Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters (CHKD), has raised more than $400,000 during this charitable event!

Cost $30, includes instructions and all supplies. Proceeds from these scarecrows ($25) will benefit CHKD and support their efforts to improve children's health in our community. Come on out and have a great time supporting a great cause! Register online or in stores. Walk-ins are welcome, while supplies last.
