The Fungi Farm is an interactive explorative space for all ages at the Richmond Community Garden.
It features multiple species of edible native and exotic mushrooms for foragers, over 33 hand-carved mushroom sculptures, and other art installations by local artists. It’s a space that piques the curiosity of visitors of all ages to explore and discover its inner-workings. The nature play area engages the young ones. Signage and communication tunnels that mimic the underground communication of fungi and organisms educates all about these amazing, sometimes overlooked plants growing amongst us.
The Fungi Farm often is a starting point for foraging excursions across the Red Zone, and local events are held here year-round. Overlooking the Avon River, it’s a special place to be.
The project is an initiative of the Riverlution Collective and it is driven by the Richmond Community Garden. It is only possible through the hard work of all of the RCG volunteers.
All are welcome!
