Growing Mushrooms and Herbs

In-Person / Online

Did you know that mushrooms can be grown both indoors and outdoors? Join Donna Kurt of the Herb Society of Manitoba to learn about growing mushrooms with herbs! This presentation will focus on companion planting, discussing which herbs can easily share a garden bed with mushrooms. Specimens will be available for participants to learn more about the different types of mushrooms described.

Donna Kurt has studied mushrooms informally since 1988, and formally at the University of Winnipeg since 2015. She has given workshops and led forays for mushrooms and other plants since 2008. She has an International Permaculture Certificate and has studied Indigenous Ethnobotany and Food Systems, Aquatic and Forest Ecology, Botany of Manitoba and Medicinal Plants since 2015. At home, Donna has numerous fungi friends in her yard and garden.

The Library reserves the right to limit the number of program attendees.

Family programs including Baby Rhyme Time, Toddler Time, Family Story Time, and 3-5 with a caregiver programs are an opportunity for caregivers to participate together with their child in the program.

School age programs are for children ages 6-8, 6-12, or 9-12. Children attend on their own unless otherwise indicated. Teen programs are for Grades 7-12.

Programs with children ages 11 and younger require a caregiver to remain in the library during the program. In the absence of a caregiver, the Library does not assume responsibility for a child.

Children are not supervised by library staff outside of the program space (e.g. washroom breaks or leaving the program early exit from the program).
