WCF Birdhouse Gourd Seeds (8-10 seeds per pack)

Heirloom • Tribal Stewardship • Cherokee & Meskwaki Lineages

✨ What it is

A packet of heirloom Birdhouse Gourd seeds grown, saved, and stewarded through generations — seeds originally entrusted to our family through the Cherokee Nation Seed Bank and the Meskwaki Nation. These seeds represent a living tradition, carried forward by Indigenous hands long before ours, and respectfully grown on our farm to help preserve and continue this heritage.

Each packet contains hand-saved seeds from our own vine-dried birdhouse gourds grown right here on our Missouri farmstead. These gourds are known for their classic round bodies and perfect natural shape for crafting durable birdhouses, bowls, and folk art pieces.
