PRESENTATION TOPICS

---

Perennials are not only beautiful and long living, but many are edible. We’ll cover some of the well known, more common edibles and introduce you to a few “not so common” ones, you might be surprised to discover. Learn how to enjoy beauty and bounty from the same space and plants. 

Are you interested in having chickens but have some questions? This presentation is designed to set you up for success. We’ll cover terms, classifications, breeds, housing, care and more to help you determine “if” and “which ones” are best for you! I have been raising chickens (egg and meat) for over 20 years and enjoy all things chicken. I love to share my successes and failures, to hopefully keep you from repeating my mistakes, so you can try a few of your own. 

 Oyster Mushroom

Make and take an oyster mushroom toilet paper roll.

Shiitake Mushroom

Inoculate a 12" shiitake log to take. 

In this presentation, we will explore the benefits of chickens for you and your garden.  We'll cover nitrogen, compost, and waste management along with helpful tips on housing and the best breeds for different purposes and locations. With over 20 years of  'chicken raising' experience, I like most all things chicken. I'll share some of my successes and failures, to hopefully keep you from repeating my mistakes. 

 Thank you for the scobie.  I had been meaning to start a batch of kombucha but was not sure where to get a quality scobie from.  Now no excuses...and my batch has been started.  So thank you so much. 

 
Thank you also for the mushroom presentation.  I'm glad I was able to participate.
