Goals of the Palmetto Gourd Patch
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!
Our meetings are at Creative Hands Artisan Center at 10 AM
107 Hwy 29 - Lyman, SC 29365
864-949-9144
The picture above: Christmas in July - Bring small gourds to the July meeting to make ornaments!

Bring an ornament you have made for show and tell. If you have patterns for ornaments, please bring some copies.
