Story summary

Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch, founded in 1987 by Becky and David Campbell, has been a beloved seasonal attraction in Los Angeles for nearly four decades. Initially based in Westwood, the patch moved to Culver City after brief stays near Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. The Campbells started the pumpkin patch inspired by their farm in Silverton, Oregon, aiming to provide urban children with an authentic farm experience. Becky’s daughter Lyra Marble took over operations in 2001, later collaborating with her father Steven for its design. Visitors such as Andrea and Amy Moreno praise Mr. Bones for offering a charming countryside atmosphere within the city limits, perfect for family outings during Halloween season.
