About The Cultured GardenFrom humble beginnings, The Cultured Garden originally consisted of just three friends who shared a fascination with fungi. Many years spent cultivating spawn and mushrooms in a home laboratory brought the understanding that this country is severely short of delicious gourmet and medicinal mushroom varieties. With the collective backgrounds including; mushroom cultivation, silviculture, land & forestry management and sales & marketing it was a natural progression to begin supplying the public with the opportunity to grow their own.
From beginnings at the local farmers markets and fairs, the business has grown as the word has spread. Today, The Cultured Garden travels to some of the largest shows in the country and has added ‘Living Sculpture’ to the product range. All TCG mushrooms are from carefully selected strains inoculated into the highest quality wood, always locally sourced where possible, with the emphasis on identifying the most effective types of wood for each strain. Our purpose is to provide the opportunity to produce/grow exciting varieties of native British mushrooms and select strains from further afield. We also wish to raise awareness of the medicinal benefits of particular species. All without the fear of foraging! |
