McDonald Garden Center is excited to announce the 27th annual Make a Scarecrow event is on for 2023! Join us, rain or shine, September 16-17, 2023 at 9 am – 4 pm at our Independence location at any time between 9am-4pm on either day. 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 $300,000 during this charitable event!

Cost $30, includes instructions and all supplies. A portion of the proceeds ($25) benefit CHKD. Come on out and have a great time supporting a great cause! Register online or in stores. Walk-ins are welcome, while supplies last.

Make a tradition, make a difference…Make a Scarecrow.
