Grow your own mushrooms

About

Join us for an immersive mushroom workshop that combines expert knowledge, engaging demonstrations, and a tour of the mushroom beds within the Kitchen Garden at Kew. 

The workshop begins with an interactive talk, introducing the basics of mushrooms, their role in ecosystems, and how you can grow them at home. You’ll also enjoy a demonstration of 1-2 hands-on projects that bring the process to life.

Next, we’ll take a walk to the kitchen garden, where you’ll explore how mushrooms can complement sustainable gardening. The Caley Brothers will highlight their benefits, from enriching soil to producing nutrient-rich food and answer any questions or curiosities you have about how you too can grow your own.

Finally, enjoy a guided tour of the Fungarium, where you’ll delve deeper into the incredible diversity of fungi and their potential to transform how we think about mushrooms.

This workshop promises to be educational, inspiring, and a fantastic way to connect with nature’s most fascinating organisms. Book your spot today!
