Gourd Crafting Supplies

The Gourd Reserve was founded in 1990 by Timothy Mark Moyers and his then-wife, Carmella. As passionate members of the American and Ohio Gourd Societies, they built a vast collection of gourd seeds, sharing them with enthusiasts nationwide. Despite their divorce, Tim and Carmella remained friends, and the Reserve became Carmella’s cherished project. Alongside her new husband, Dan, Carmella continued the legacy, conducting fascinating cross-breeding experiments and growing gourds on their Indiana farm. This site celebrates their journey, showcasing the joy and creativity that gourds have brought into their lives. We honor Tim’s memory and invite you to explore the wonders of The Gourd Reserve.
