Watch Master Carver Ray Villafane get underway in transforming giant pumpkins from around the world into unearthly creatures, then head to The New York Botanical Garden this weekend (Saturday & Sunday, Oct. 19-20; 10am - 6pm) to see these pumpkin masterpieces come to life!

Here's some information from The New York Botanical Garden's website:

Giant pumpkins from around the world, expected to weigh in at more than 1,800 pounds each, once again arrive at the Garden. Arranged in collaboration with the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth, the recognized standard of weights, measurements, and fairness of competition, these winners of global pumpkin weigh-offs will be transformed by Master Carver Ray Villafane of Food Network fame.

On this one exclusive weekend, watch Villafane and his team transform these wonders of nature into an amazing sculptural display of carnivorous plants and other unearthly creatures. Enjoy daily Q&A sessions with the carvers and snack on seasonal treats provided by Whole Foods Market®.

Q&As with the master carvers and growers are at 12, 1, 2, 3, & 4 pm.
