Ideal for gardeners of all levels, these gourds bring creativity and sustainability together, offering a fun and rewarding growing experience.

Key Features:

  • Large, Hollow Fruits: The Birdhouse Gourd is renowned for its large, durable fruits that can be easily transformed into birdhouses, containers, and decorative items.
  • Crafting Potential: Perfect for DIY enthusiasts, these gourds can be dried and crafted into birdhouses, bowls, ornaments, and more, adding a rustic touch to your home or garden.
  • Drought Tolerant: This variety is naturally drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in drier climates or those looking for low-maintenance crops.
  • Easy to Grow: Whether you’re a novice or an experienced gardener, Birdhouse Gourds are easy to grow, requiring minimal care and attention.
  • Organic and Non-GMO: Our seeds are organically grown and non-GMO, promoting a healthier garden and environment.

Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 70°F. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 24-36 inches apart, in rows 6 feet apart.
  • Soil: Grow in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Adding compost or aged manure to the soil before planting will encourage healthy growth.
  • Sunlight: Birdhouse Gourds thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Watering: Water consistently, especially during dry periods. Once established, the plants are drought-tolerant but perform best with regular watering.
  • Support: Provide a sturdy trellis or fence for the vines to climb. This will help keep the gourds off the ground, ensuring they grow into their characteristic shapes.

Harvesting Tips:

  • Ripeness Indicators: Harvest gourds when the vines begin to die back and the stems turn brown. The gourds should be fully mature, hard, and have a uniform color.
  • Curing: After harvesting, cure the gourds by placing them in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated area. Turn them regularly until they are fully dry and the seeds rattle inside.

Crafting Uses:

  • Birdhouses: Once dried, Birdhouse Gourds can be hollowed out and transformed into natural birdhouses. Simply cut an entry hole, clean out the inside, and hang them in your garden for a rustic, functional birdhouse.
  • Decorative Crafts: These gourds can be painted, carved, or stained to create unique decorations such as bowls, ornaments, or vases. The possibilities are endless, making them a favorite among crafters.
  • Natural Containers: Use hollowed gourds as natural containers or storage vessels, adding a touch of nature to your home decor.

Medicinal and Culinary Uses:

  • Medicinal Use: While Birdhouse Gourds are primarily grown for crafting, they have a history of use in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. However, they are not typically consumed and should be used with caution.
  • Culinary Use: Although not commonly eaten, some cultures use young, tender gourds in cooking. Mature gourds are generally inedible due to their tough, fibrous texture.

By choosing organic seeds, you’re contributing to a greener future and enjoying the benefits of naturally grown produce.

Shows wear quickly
Color: Multicolor/Sheep & Cow, Size: Medium
These are cute but not holding up as well as I had hoped. Quality is ok and the Velcro has held up great. The fabric just isn’t as good as it could be. They are much larger than expected.

Super Sturdy with hours of fun.
Color: Wild Duck, Hare, Squirrel & Alligator, Size: Small
I got the small ones that you cannot put a water bottle in. These toys have held up way better than expected. I am dog sitting a very rough with toys dog named Chunk. He tears up ever. Single. Toy my dog (Ted) has. I bought new ones just for chunk. These appealed to me with the no stuffing, They were cheaper, and have a squeaker. Everything chunk needed. They arrived on time and I thought I wasted my money. They were super soft, like too soft. They felt flimsy and weak. Like 5 minutes with chunk and they be dead. 2 hours with my dog and they would have a rip. So far 2 of them (I set two out) have lasted the whole weekend. The bunny looks very rough and disgusting, but no rips, the squeakers still work, and no random fluff everywhere. I am going to wash the bunny once chunk leaves. My very careful doggo Ted loves them too. He throws them up in the air and catches them, plays tug of war with them, and no rips. They are super sturdy. He can’t wait until Chunk leaves (chunk is 2 and Ted is 12-13) so he can play with them.

Loved it
Color: Brown/Wild Duck, Size: Large, Color: Brown/Wild Duck, Size: Large
He loved it so much, he destroyed it so we ordered another. I didn't realize that you can stick an empty water bottle inside. Again, the first one didn't last long, but he enjoyed it

Very fun interactive toy
Color: Brown/Wild Duck, Size: Medium
This toy is very versatile. There's no stuffing yet it's very soft so it can be used as a tug toy. It also makes for a fun fetch toy because it has a cavity to put a water bottle. It gives your dog something that crinkles and can be pierced when bitten and easily replaced with another empty bottle whenever necessary. That is what really makes this toy the standout of all the ones offered by Best Pet imo. I don't expect this to last forever but once my pup gets bigger we'll probably get the large size for her because there's not too many all in one fetch and tug toys at an affordable price.

Great Toy, but Big Dogs Destroy the Squeakers Fast
Color: Wild Duck, Hare, Squirrel & Alligator, Size: Large
My big dogs had the squeaker torn out in no time, but my little dog absolutely loves this toy. It’s the perfect size for her, and she carries it everywhere. Durable enough for small pups, just not tough enough for heavy chewers. Still a fun toy overall!
