Birdhouse Gourd

Grow a birdhouse! Grow your own birdhouse! These unique gourds have been used for centuries—originating with African tribes—and are still popular today for creating natural bird homes. After drying for 3–6 months, the seeds inside can be shaken loose and removed through the entrance hole you create. For extra fun, the dried gourds can be painted and decorated to add a personal touch to your garden.
