We showed up early afternoon for a free tour. The nice lady was very informative about the various stages of luffa plant life. Instructions included how to care for your personal luffa. Ultimately it becomes the scrubber or sponge for the consumer.

The greenhouses were filled with abundant growth. So beautiful, wish I could have stayed inside a bit longer. However it’s hotter inside the greenhouse than is was outside. We visited in August.

I was intrigued to learn that most luffa sponges are imported. They tend to have mold issues and stiffness problems because of chemicals and synthetic materials. 

They grow all of their luffa’s here naturally. Free of any pesticides or synthetic materials. Because of this, they will last many years, stay mold free, softer texture and keep you clean!

After the greenhouse tour it was fun to walk the gardens. Check out the tree’s, bottle garden and the welcome cow’s of course.

They have a small gift shop filled with everything luffa. Including soaps, lotions and aromatherapy sets.
