2:00 - 4:00 pm Outdoor Education Center Who is Gourdelia? Well, she's the Guru of Gourdology, the Calabash Queen of the garden and the biggest Gourdhead of all! She is also Carolyn Finzer, a consummate storyteller who enchantingly spins divine legends and lore about the oldest cultivated plant upon the earth. Impassioned, like her alter ego Gourdelia, Carolyn goes out of her gourd to entertain and educate audiences. She is also an artist, teacher, master gardener and conservationist. Following Gourdelia's story spinning, enjoy an gourd carving demonstration by Cantigny's own Greenhouse Production Manager, Jenny Lund and peruse the beautiful gourd creations available for purchase from Off The Vine Gourds. Free event, parking fee applies. Questions? 630 260 8162 Inspired by what you saw and heard?
