Learn how to grow, dry and decorate gourds when the Pocono Garden Club meets at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Monroe County Conservation District, 8050 Running Valley Road, Bartonsville.

The program will be presented by local gourd expert Claudia Hill of CH Creations, whom you may have seen volunteering at Quiet Valley Living History Farm.

This program will build on one she presented last November about growing and drying gourds so they can be turned into bowls, bird houses and other art works.

The meeting’s design entry is called “Bountiful Harvest.” It should be a design of choice using a basket or cornucopia.

The horticulture entry should be a bouquet of dried materials in a container of choice.

The houseplant entry should be any flowering houseplant.

Light refreshments will be served.
