Did you know that we're more than just a former cow town! Once a truck-farm haven feeding the United States, our city thrived on backyard gardens full of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, bananas—and more.

Violet’s Garage just proved it’s possible to farm here in this urban downtown area by successfully growing luffa sponges right here in Kissimmee on Broadway … now we’re encouraging YOU and your KIDS to grow one too! Starting now. It's time to get your seedlings started.

THEN - Join us in mid-June for Violet's Venom Brewery 1st Annual Luffa Sponge Harvest Festival.

We'll be giving out prizes for the

Largest Luffa Grown in Kissimmee (by weight)
Largest Luffa Grown in Kissimmee (by length)
Smallest Ripe Luffa Grown in Kissimmee (by weight)
Smallest Ripe Luffa Grown in Kissimmee (by length)
Most colorful home grown vegetable display

And then join us for a family-friendly Luffa Extraction Party on the lawn

Celebrate backyard gardening, get your hands dirty, and reconnect with Kissimmee’s farming roots—one luffa at a time.

Plant now. Harvest with us.
