Mushrooms are a theme for shady places in Kew’s redesigned kitchen garden , says Kew’s Kitchen gardener Helena Dove. Chelsea Flower Show will have a mushroom grower exhibiting for the first time - Caley Bros, who are also working on Kew’s mushroom installation.
On February 24th, Kew will host a visit to the Fungarium where there are 1.25 million dried specimens.
Surely a date for the diary there if you happen to be trotting around London. A trip to Kew on that day would be a real bonus!
