Join us at Fifth Season Gardening Asheville for our hands-on Mushroom Planting & Growing Workshop! Learn how to easily companion-plant mushroom mycelium into your garden beds, lawn patches, and outdoor herb or flower pots. We’ll show you how mushrooms can boost your soil health, retain moisture, and flush delicious, fresh mushrooms right in your garden. We'll guide everyone step-by-step in creating your own inoculated companion pot of organic substrate, mushroom spawn, organic plant starts, and planted seeds. You can transplant this pot into your garden for years of harvests, or allow the pot to flush by itself for months!

🎟️ When: Two Sessions Available: September 19, 2026 at 11:00 am OR 2:00 pm

📍 Where: Fifth Season Gardening – 4 S Tunnel Rd Asheville, NC

Step-by-step planting techniques for guaranteed flushes
