The Palmetto Gourd Patch was established so we can share our love of gourds. Promoting the growing of gourds, sharing the love of gourd art, and letting everyone know how to safely work with gourds - that is our purpose. Come and join us. We readily share our talents and abilities with each other and we have FUN!
