Violet is interested in applied mycology (growing delicious mushrooms!), kombucha-making, pickling, fermenting, and many other kitchen sorceries. She enjoys collecting and propagating houseplants which scatter her home. In 2019, Violet was chosen by the James Myatt sail exchange between Canada and the UK, where she had the privilege to sail the cruise-in-company portion of the Tall Ships Races in the North Sea aboard a bm ketch.
