Tuesday, Feb 11th Renowned writer Richard Winder will be coming all the way from Sooke to bring us a very special presentation. Tuesday, February 12th 7pm @ Floral Hall Mushrooms for All Seasons: Written by retired mycologist Richard Winder, Mushrooms for all Seasons is a presentation covering biological, ecological, historical, and nutritional information for popular edible mushrooms.
