Check out Gourdlandia's YouTube channel for gourd growing and crafting how-to's!
Welcome to
This spot is dedicated to kids and gourds, which go together like peanut butter and jelly. Check back for lots more of the good stuff!
Let's Grow a Gourd!
Sign up here for updates about our soon-to-be-published picture book, Vivalina Grows A Gourd. We'll only send a few updates, including when it’s published. In exchange for your email address, and with great hopes that you’ll purchase our book for a creative youngster in your life, we will send you free gourd seeds! In April.
What kind of gourd seeds? We'll send a variety that we've been cultivating for 8 years now. It’s the very same variety that Vivalina’s Auntie Vi made into her home, and it has become Gourdlandia’s specialty. Since Graham used to be a midwife, we’ve taken the liberty of naming it the Umbilical Gourd!
The Book Itself is a Seed!
We're hoping to grow a whole garden of gourd-growers.
We'll only send a few "sprouts" of news - no spam, just gourds!

Here's one she hasn't named yet.
