How do you plan gourd projects? After visiting Indiana and Florida gourd shows, I’ve planned 11 projects for 2025, considering my style, show categories, strengths, and skills to improve. Everyone plans differently—I'd love to hear your approach!

Looking for other gourd growers. Crafters, and artists to share ideas, projects, resources. Recently made this friendly whale.
