Come Visit!
There's a lot to see and do at Gourdlandia... learn how to grow and dry gourds, explore the gourd garden (summer and fall), shop, be inspired, and make something! Below are two projects that are available for visitors to make any weekday between 2 and 5... drop in and make something beautiful!
Hours
Note: closed until 9/21/20, at least, so I can be with my dad in his last days.
Open Monday-Friday 11-5; make a night light or necklace 2-5. Often open evenings and weekends too, but best to call first. Check calendar below for updates.
Make a Night Light!
Quick and easy and fun! You start with a gourd already cleaned and attached to a night light switch... all that's missing is the holes. That's where you come in. The tricky part is coming up with a design... but you can do it! It's a pretty quick project; you might be able to just drop in and do it. $25
Make a Gourd Necklace
Here's a quick and fun project for young and old! Choose a gourd, choose a cord, and get to work with the beads. It only takes a few minutes, and I'll show you how to make it adjustable. $3
