Gourd Art
Warm your home with a gourd grown by us on our from in central New Jersey! The gourd was dried, cleaned and drilled then painted with acrylic paint and coated with polyurethane.
Birdhouses have a 1.5 inch entrance hole which is perfect for chickadees, finches, wrens, purple martins, and other birds. Drain holes have been drilled in the bottom of each gourd to keep the gourd (and bird family!) dry. The gourd is approximately 11 inches tall and 6.5 inches wide. The wired hanger is coated and adds about 3 inches in height to the birdhouse.
The following are examples of gourd art that can be found at our farm store and on our shop at Etsy:
