The journey of  a gourd covers thousands of years.  How did they get here?  Where are > they from?  Why don't the gourds that are growing, look like the ones I planted?  How do the garden surroundings influence gourd genetics > for generations to come?  From necessary vessels to artwork in your > home - learn how gourds have evolved - from their past to the present.

And hats off to you Terri and the others involved in organizing this great event.  Without people like you, dedicated to giving their all, it would not be possible!

Well it's a couple weeks since the Wisconsin Gourd Festival and now there's time to breathe! Thanks to all the great WGS members who brought their smiling faces to the festival, shared their beautiful art and helped to educate the general public on gourds! Olbrich Botanical Gardens, our host, had the largest foot traffic day in their history. We're growing and it's because of all the great members who are willing to share and make the society such a fun group. Hats off to all of you! Next year's festival is already scheduled: April 14, 2012. Same place -see you there!!
