When someone asks, “Are you out of your gourd?” they are usually referring to the gourd as the mind. While the gourd, an edible fruit that grows abundantly in California, can feed the body & mind, it’s also known to feed the soul through creative arts.  Around the world the gourd has been used to make musical instruments, jewelry, dishes and art with the earliest applications found some 13,000 years ago. California has a gourd organization to promote gourd arts and it has over 15 clubs (known as patches) throughout the state. The California Gourd Society which is a member of the American Gourd Society, distributes information about Festivals in California that celebrate gourds, including upcoming Davis Ranch Gourd Festival and Silicon Valley Gourd Festival.
