We have been growing our gourds all summer right here in Keysville, VA at the Lazy Daisy Garden!   There are some real beauties to be had.  You can display gourds in many ways to add some festive fall feeling to both the inside and outside of your home.

Unique Arrangements & Wreaths

Lazy Daisy can arrange our fresh gourds for you or you in a wreath or a lovely table arrangement.  The possibilites are endless.

Piled-High Pumpkins

Set a festive tone with a table piled with pumpkins, gourds, and bittersweet. Raid the cupboard for display ideas such as bowls or cake plates. The rich fall colors of gourds and pumpkins make it easy to create an elegant centerpiece.

Tablecloth-Weight Gourds

Little gourds can do great things. Try creating these table weights from mini-gourds to hold the tablecloth in place at an outdoor dinner party. Measure the tabletop and add enough for a 6-inch drop of yardage on all sides plus a 1-inch hem. Hem with fusible tape and an iron. To make the corner flaps, notch a 5-inch square from each corner and hem using fusible tape. Add grommets with a kit from a crafts or fabrics store.

Stacked Gourds in Glass Vases

Gather gourds in cylindrical vases to bring autumn to a tabletop or mantel. Use containers of different sizes to stack gourds in varying amounts. To give each display a vibrant touch, add a length of fresh pumpkin vine from the garden, pulling the vine out at the root and rinsing off the dirt. Place it in the vase with a bit of water.

Wheelbarrow Pumpkin Welcoming Display

Put an old wheelbarrow to use by filling it with an assortment of pumpkins, gourds, and squash. Use black acrylic paint or a permanent marker to decorate one of the pumpkins with a welcoming message.

Gourds Galore

Bring a warm glow to the front porch with a generous tumble of smooth-skin gourds in soft, creamy colors. Accent them with frilly ornamental kale and fall flowers.
