CLICK HERE for a printable poster Missouri GOURDen is a community garden where we’re raising gourds up and over an artistic garden house with the goal of making shekere instruments from the gourds. All are welcome to visit and join in gardening. The project is partnered with Kansas City Community Gardens and an orchard planted by the Giving Grove is just behind the GOURDen.

Along with gourds, we’re raising other types of flowering vines, herbs, radishes, and a grassy plant that bears a naturally occurring bead that can be used, along with the dried gourds, for making shekeres. Missouri GOURDen is a project of the studio of Maria Ogedengbe.

Missouri GOURDen is sited at 48th & Troost by the Anita Gorman Discovery Center - a nature center offering free programming.
