Fall arrives in Southern California when Nessie, the pumpkin serpent, magically appears at Descanso Gardens.
The Golden State isn't without its fascinating legends, the tales celebrating the incredible cryptids that roam the redwoods — hey, Bigfoot — or the beautiful Mojave, a region that is synonymous with the mysterious Yucca Man.Well, yes, and we couldn't miss out on celebrating our state's submerged superstars, from Lake Tahoe's Tahoe Tessie to Elsie, the underwater icon of Lake Elsinore.
But the impressive pumpkin-covered sculpture is a longtime fall favorite, one of the winsome signs that autumn has truly and officially arrived at the La Cañada Flintridge garden. You can spy Nessie, who sits in a small-ish water feature not far from the garden entrance, throughout October. She'll be on view during the sunny hours for daytime guests and also during"Carved," the garden's separately ticketed evening event.
Nessie isn't the only seasonal sight that regulars of Descanso Gardens anticipate: The Pumpkin House, which is a wee, step-inside structure covered with gourds, is also now on view as October begins. Whether the Descanso Gardens pumpkin serpent is acquainted with Elsie of Lake Elsinore or Tahoe Tessie remains, thrillingly, an enduring California enigma.
