Grow and Shape Ipu Gourds - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 05-10-2022
The episode dives into the art of ipu heke ʻole with gourd master Kalim Smith. In “Ipu Heke ʻOle,” park ranger Sean Hoʻolaʻi Miday travels to Keauhou and crafts an ipu heke ʻole with Smith, who reveals the passion he has for growing and shaping the gourds, from hand pollinating the plants to constructing trellises so they grow perfectly shaped before they are harvested.
