LOCATION: La Casa, at 906 S. Maple, Urbana IL
PRICE: $30

Think gardening is only about plants? You're missing out! There's a whole
'nother Kingdom to explore - and eat. I'll give an overview of several
easy-entry mushroom growing techniques, suitable for gardens, wooded areas,
landscaping, and living rooms. We'll look at mushrooms through a holistic,
permaculture lens, and learn to find the niche in the landscape where they
can thrive and generate fertility, even as they produce food and medicine
for us. I'll put it all in the context of historical, present-day, and
emerging practices, with a focus on integration with sustainable landscapes.

In the hands-on section, we'll learn to inoculate mushrooms logs, and create
a mushroom patch in the garden. Each participant can bring an inoculated log
home with them.

The cost of the 4-hour workshop is $30.

Space is limited, so please register at the website:
