Well, this year it’s squirrels up one, my Luffas zero. No Luffas this year. Luckily I still have some to work with from last year.

The luffa seeds are just starting to peek out from the dirt (pictures soon). New this year, we are trying the dipper gourd as well. These seedlings have sprouted like crazy in just the past few days.

I’m Heather Firkin, the creator behind Locust Street Luffas in Mount Wolf, PA. I grow and handcraft 100% organic luffa sponges, nurtured from seed to finished product right here in my garden. My mission is simple: offer natural, sustainable alternatives that are gentle on you and the planet. Every luffa is grown with care, harvested by hand, and crafted with love.

Examples of a few of our items.

Small ring luffa scrubbers and a scrubber sponge with an open top allows for soap to be placed inside the sponge if preferred. Some scrubbers will be completely closed too.

Discover the joy of gardening and crafting with me at Locust Street Luffas. My journey began two years ago with a simple packet of Luffa gourd seeds, and since then, I've been captivated by the beauty and versatility of these sustainable treasures. Each season has taught me something new, and I'm eager to share my knowledge with others. The Luffa gourd, once harvested and carefully prepared, offers a multitude of eco-friendly uses. From my garden, where they're grown without chemicals, to the gentle cleaning process using natural soap, I'm dedicated to sharing these natural wonders with you. Please join me on this adventure, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
