Companion Planting in the Food Garden—with Mushrooms!

With Yolanda Gonzalez, Cornell Cooperative Extension

Companion planting (or intercropping) is an ancient method of increasing yields and maximizing growing space. Learn how to diversify your garden harvest while enjoying the mutual benefits of intercropping with mushrooms, such as improving soil health and water retention. Plan next spring’s garden with guidance from an Urban Agriculture Specialist on growing three different types of mushrooms, from site selection to harvest. Take home a native plant to try!
