Pumpkins are one of fall’s most famous symbols—and they have a long history! Native Americans were among the first to grow pumpkins, using them for food long before they became decorations. When European settlers arrived, they learned to cook and bake with pumpkins, helping them survive tough winters. Over time, pumpkins became a fall favorite, especially at harvest festivals and Halloween. Today, people carve pumpkins into glowing jack-o’-lanterns, decorate porches, and enjoy pumpkin pie and spice. This video explores how a simple plant became a fun, colorful part of fall traditions around the world.
