Description
This workshop will meet outside at Scituate's Newest Community Garden at Appleton Field located within the Crosbie Family Preserve at 251 Clapp Road.
A One day outdoor hands-on workshop on how to create a successful culinary mushroom garden in your outdoor gardens. Mushrooms and their fungal network are an intricate part of successful compost and garden soil health. In this workshop, using mushroom (seeding) spawn, you will learn to create the best growing conditions for two outstanding culinary mushrooms, Oyster and Wine cap mushrooms. Discover the best growing practices using growing mediums of straw and wood chips and how they are sourced and processed for garden use. In as little as 3 months harvest the delicious fruits of your labor. No garden? No problem! We'll also learn to grow these mushrooms easily in “take home” bucket gardens. Each participant will bring home a successfully inoculated starting bucket for at home use and growing. (Rain date 5/4)
