Educating the public about the importance of gourds.

SCGS Patches

Gourd Patches, or groups of people interested in pursing their interest in gourd art, are formed wherever there is sufficient support. Patches formulate their own meeting times, their structure, dues fees and educational requirements. They are linked to a State Gourd Society. The State Society is made up of a Board of Directors, elected officers and Patch Leaders who meet regularly to provide support and guidance to the Patches and to maintain a consistent link to the American Gourd Society
