The Knights of Columbus run the pumpkin patch at All Saints, which offers heirloom varieties, white "polar bear" pumpkins, mini gourds and classic stacking pumpkins, according to the church's pumpkin patch website. Family activities are also available on site.
Proceeds go toward the Knights of Columbus' mission to benefit those in need in Dunwoody and beyond, according to the church's website.
Hours run noon to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends through Oct. 31.
