Submitted by Mahalia on Sun, 10/07/2007 - 5:24pm. Workshop presented by Marisha Auerbach Sunday October 14th 12pm to 4 PM Meeting at the Evergreen Organic Farmhouse Located at the Evergreen Organic Farm, 2712 Lewis Rd., Olympia, WA

Hands-on projects will take place at Demeter's Garden.

Mushrooms are an integral part of the environment in the Pacific Northwest. They are rarely used in landscaping. Permaculture draws on examples from nature to create abundant landscapes based in ecological systems. We would like to invite our fungal allies to return to the garden and assist us in creating abundance through their relationships. During this workshop, we will discover the functions of mushrooms in an ecosystem and the different techniques for incorporating them in the home garden.

Hands-on projects will include: establishment of outdoor mushroom beds, mycorrhizal inoculants, and other fun projects. Please join us as we consciously welcome mushrooms into our landscapes and gardens. Feel free to bring a dish to share.
