The Mushroom Shed is a short walk across the farm yard from the Bunkhouse.

The Mushroom Shed has a lovely green oak frame at the front and the rest of the building is built from sustainable panels and insulated with Warmcel, recycled newspaper cellulose fibre.

The building has a living roof which has been planted with Sedums which can provide important microclimates for insects, bird life and other even rare species. They also protect and shade the roof from harmful UV light, which slows down erosion and increases the life of the roof. Green roofs benefit the environment not only as a carbon sink, but actively encouraging the wildlife and biodiversity.

At the front of the Mushroom Shed is a large covered veranda, windows at the back look out over the orchards.

Access to the orchard is possible at certain times of the year.

 

 

 

 

  • Plant Eco Shamanism

    ‘Plant Perception and Resonance’

    One day workshop working with plant spirit with Mandy Pullen and Freya Davies

    It is said that when a person needs a plant "it stands up where it grows, calling to you. That is why it is easy to find the medicine you seek". How many of us would be sensitive enough to perceive the plants most beneficial to our healing in times of illness? How can we resonate with plants and their spirits? Do plants respond to human speech, touch, smell . . . or thoughts, feelings, intentions? How can we move into a dialogue, or resonate, with plants?

    The day is an introduction to Plant Eco Shamanism and is
    open to all . . . you don't need any 'plant knowledge'
    to work in this way. This workshop will give you a taste of the Plant Eco Shamanism Course beginning in March 2018 (different venue).

    Saturday 10th February 2018
