South Carolina Gourd Society

The South Carolina Gourd Society is educational in nature and accomplishes this by encouraging and supporting presentations, displays and seminars, providing educational resources and exhibits. We have differing levels of creativity for young and old, creating one-of-a-kind pieces of art that started with the foundation of a seed, soil, nutrition, water and a burst from the sun. Representing the South, we are proud to lift from nature’s own and place the fingerprints of the human soul upon it.
