Join Alleycat Acres and Stone Soup Gardens for this educational work party to prepare our fungi and forest understory garden at the Wetmore Community Farm in Rainier Valley!
Jake Harris, mushroom ambassador and owner of Stone Soup Gardens, is excited to present a class on his love of mushrooms! He will talk about how to grow a variety of mushrooms in your own home garden, how to identify mushrooms in your garden or local forest, and a few tips and tricks to locating edible mushrooms in the Pacific NW. We will actively prepare a bed at Wetmore Garden for edible mushroom inoculation that can be harvested in the spring and fall.

Mission Statement
Alleycat Acres reconnects people, place, and produce by transforming underutilized space into a network of neighborhood run farms.
Description
In other words, we make farms happen. Food is more than what we eat: it’s a medium through which we can forge intimate, meaningful relationships between people and place. Farming is a medium that reconnects us, both mentally and physically, to our surroundings. Our entire operation is based on the collective belief that urban food systems are key in creating healthy communities.
Our produce is distributed between our volunteers who worked for the day and a network of agency partners including Food Banks, Supportive Housing, Shelters, and Recovery service providers. Join us at one of our weekly work parties at any of our four farms. All ages and abilities are welcome - our farm coordinators will be on site to walk you through tasks and teach you everything they know about urban gardening!
