Hard Shell Gourds 

Did you know that Kathy’s Pumpkin Patch is also widely known for having a vast array of dried and decorative hardshell gourds?  Our varieties include: apple, bule, birdhouse, speckled swan, penguin, small bushel, bottle gourds, etc.  Each of our dried gourds come in some variation of size and shape within each variety and are naturally dried, but not washed. Prices range from $2 - $20 each for individualized dried gourds.  We would be happy to sell and ship cleaned gourds that would be ready for crafting for an additional $2.00 per gourd.

Aside from our individual gourd sales, we also offer a sample box of 10 hardshell gourds that includes several varieties. This box is perfect if you are either a beginner or an established gourd artist and are interested in saving money! The sample box is just $30.00 per box plus shipping (if applicable).
Decorative gourds can be seen, in both our gift shop and open air market area, throughout the season.  Each gourd is meticulously hand-crafted and painted or stained by one of our own staff members.  Ornamental gourds vary in size, shape, and style, which makes each one as unique as the next!
