This experience explores what this wondrous plant is and the many ways it can improve our life and the life of our planet. Discover the countless benefits and uses of the versatile luffa plant, which thrives in the Annapolis Valley.
Come stroll through the tropical ambiance of our trellised luffa haven. Our small farm is fortunate to be working on land that is located within a larger certified organic farm. Join us to explore the many attributes of this earth friendly plant through hands-on activities. Nibble and sip on this edible plant as part of your journey of discovery.
Please note: this experience changes with the seasons offering variations to our spring, summer, and fall sessions. We encourage you to return and experience the full life cycle of a luffa!
Seasonal Highlights:
Spring: Feel the life force in these vigorous luffa seedlings. Dive into the ecosystem and help to shape the framework for the upcoming growing season. Get your hands dirty through hands-on learning about companion planting. Gain appreciation for passive, eco-friendly methods of pest management.
Summer: Help to train the luffa plants to support developing growth throughout the season. Get a feel for the strength in a tendril, as it is secured to support the growth. Learn hands-on plant maintenance and harvest best-practices. Snack on fresh-off-the-vine luffa and taste the vibrancy of other co-plantings, including colourful flowers.
Autumn / harvest: Building off our summer experience, together we harvest full-size luffa. See, touch, and taste luffa in unique ways, including a very satisfying and skin-nourishing de-seeding process!
