What a treat we have for you! For the first time ever, we are hosting a Luffa Gourd class! Our experts at Loof'nRound Gardens will be giving us all the best tips and tricks on growing and using loofah gourds. There are numerous uses of the plant and fruits as a whole, not just as a natural sponge! We will have some hands on experience with the loofahs and many demonstrations. 

Each class participant will receive a gift basket featuring a set of 3 seed starter pods, a facial exfoliator, a loofah leaf tea bag, a Loofah 4-1-1 info sheet, loofah tea & gourd care cards, and of course a LoofnRound sticker!

*Note from the teacher: All seeds from the loofah gourds that are part of the demonstrations cannot be purchased or taken. We (UHS) do have seed packets available for purchase!

Class Fee is $40

Please RSVP Here Prior to the Class!

In Mushroom Growing 101 we will be learning the basics of mushroom cultivation, more specifically growing mushrooms out of a bucket! This class will be a bit more in depth than the mushroom log inoculation class. Topics discussed will be grain and substrate sterilization and pasteurization, how to prepare the bucket, inoculating the grain spawn and the substrate and care for the bucket.

About our guest speaker: Michael Vickery is the owner and founder of North Georgia Gourmet Mushrooms. He is our local mushroom guy that makes several of our mushroom cultivation and grow kits. He recently started growing mushrooms after retiring from his nursing profession. One of his favorite part of growing mushrooms is the shear speed that you can see a mushroom grow.

This class is $20 a person. An RSVP is recommended to prepare for the amount of supplies that we have on hand to purchase after the class.

*** Accommodations Statement: The UHS classroom is accessible by a stairway. If you, or someone in your party is unable to use the stairs, please contact us prior to the event. We will make reasonable accommodations to move the classroom to a more accessible location. ****
