Welcome to The OC Gourd Experience
Our Mission Statement
Our Mission as a Patch of the CA Gourd Society is to
promote the horticulture, crafting, and appreciation of hard shelled
gourds (Lagenaria) by providing charitable and educational activities to
members of the society, growers, artists, crafters, business people and
the public through community support and education.
Our friendly "OC
Gourd patch" members
include an eclectic group of talented
artists, crafters and gardeners from beginner through experts.
