Gourds Transformed Into Birdhouses
Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024

Gourds make great birdhouses. They are strong, well-liked by the birds, and look really cool hanging outside in a tree or attached to a pole. You may also choose to transform a gourd into a piece of art or a musical instrument. Gourds have been used throughout history in many different cultures and continue to be used today.  Let’s celebrate fall by painting gourds in Beachwood City Park West,
10 a.m. - noon
The cost is $15 for BAC members and $20 for non-BAC members.
