About YellowSeventeen

Welcome to the wonderful world of gourds! This has been a passion of mine for 30 years. My family are gourd-heads! My uncle was a founding member of the American Gourd Society that started in Mt. Gilead, Ohio. Every October we would drive to the famous Ohio Gourd Show for inspiration, home grown gourds and friendship. And my uncle’s famous quote: We had seen the light on Mount Gilead: One Gourd Nation, under Cross Pollination. In Gourd we Trust. Meet the Family: Abbie: college kid with big dreams Gourdfather (Dad): driller and maker of gourds Gourdmother (Mom): crafter, artist of gourds Magi (Grandma): fine artist of gourds Poppy (Grandpa): shipping, sales and development Bandit (Dog): official shop dog We have growing, crafting and painting gourds for 36 years!
