Gourds…Creative Art and Birdhouses and…How to Grow Them
Come hear Cindy Lear and Nancy Walsh, Lake Granbury Master Gardeners and gourd artists speak about the different types of gourds, learn how to have success growing them in our area, and use them for creative purposes. They have a wonderful PowerPoint presentation to share with us.
Cindy is a retired teacher, stained glass artist, and a gourd artist for the past three years. She is also the team leader for the Lake Granbury Master Gardener community education programs.
Nancy has experimented with different art mediums all her life, but only started her venture with gourd art over the past 6 years. She won her first blue ribbon in the Novice Division at the Texas Gourd Festival in 2013. She grows 200+ gourds per year at her home in Tolar. She is currently serving as 1st Vice President/Membership Services, which includes planning monthly education programs for the Lake Granbury Master Gardeners. This will be an interesting evening!
The Community Horticultural Education Series, sponsored every second Monday by the Somervell County Master Gardeners and the Prairie Rose Chapter of Native Plant Society, is held at the Citizens Center, 209 SW Barnard Street, just off the square, in Glen Rose. It is free and open to the public. The program will begin at 6:30 pm.
