You’ll learn about the life cycle of mushrooms and how they’re grown locally on waste coffee grounds from local cafes in a low tech way that reduces food miles and the need for big agriculture. At the end of the workshop you’ll be able to take home an oyster mushroom grow kit to grow your own oyster mushrooms at home.
The Common Room, 27 Cambridge Rd, Hastings, 6-8 pm.
