This is a rare opportunity to get together with Peter outside of a PDC course!   PDC graduates will come with questions, ideas and challenges to share with Peter.   This is a PDC graduate seminar that is open to everyone.  Topics will likely include permaculture design for urban and suburban contexts, community organizing strategies, and problem solving for specific site design issues.  An exciting opportunity to pick the brain of one of the best.  

We are asking for $15 a person, but  no one will be turned away for lack of funds.  

He is currently on a book tour for his new book Permaculture Handbook: (http://permaculturehandbook.com/).

Mushroom Growing Workshop with Kilindi Iyi of Tamerrian Institute based in Detroit, MI

Saturday, December 8 
10 AM - 4PM 
at Possibilitarian Garden 
2909 E 117th St, (Buckeye neighborhood) Cleveland, OH 44120

Mushroom cultivation, at its heart, is energizing tissue culture and maximizing spawn production.  Mushroom strains can be cloned, expanded, and maintained on sterilized media. That may sound complicated, but in actuality mushroom cultivation can be easy, fun and rewarding.  On Saturday, December 8, 2012 in the Buckeye neighborhood of Cleveland, we will be holding a workshop to make mushroom growing accessible to everyone.

The focus of the course will be on using simple methods suitable to growing Shiitake, Oyster, Lions Mane, and Garden Giant mushrooms without the need for expensive equipment. Participants of this workshop will have the knowledge to expand techniques into the space they have available- from a city flat to a five-acre woodland - and get growing for personal use or sale to chefs and farmers markets.  All workshop participants will go home with their own mushroom growing kit.

Class topics include:

life cycle of fungi; identifying edible fungi; mushroom compost; mushroom nutrition; spawn production; growing conditions; growing outside; woodland mushroom farming (logs, wood chips, and composts); indoor production; inexpensive start-up options for beginners (small and large scale); variety of cultivation techniques; organic pest management.


COST OF WORKSHOP*
Buckeye Residents: $50
All other Participants: $75
