WILDFLOWER HIKES
------------------------------

Come and join the Sequatchie Valley Institute staff and friends… and  
the ragwort, dwarf buckeye, phlox, bloodroot, trout lily, trilliums,  
wild geranium, dogwoods, redbuds, etc! in the beautiful Sequatchie  
Valley for our spring wildflower hike, on Saturday, March 29. The  
hike will be accompanied by expert naturalist, john johnson of UT.

We will begin hiking at 11 am Central Standard Time (12 noon  
Chattanooga time — EST). Early birds (10:00 am CST) may enjoy a  
biodiesel tractor-pulled hayride up the hill to the start of the  
hike. There will be a choice of a long, strenuous hike deep into the  
Gulf, or a shorter, more relaxed walk.

SHIITAKE MUSHROOM WORKSHOP
---------------------------------------------------

We will show you how to inoculate an oak log with Shiitake mushrooms.  
Your inoculated log will produce nutritious and delicious mushrooms  
for several years to come!

A $30-45 sliding scale fee includes hands-on instruction, a mushroom- 
filled garden-fresh lunch, your own log to take home plus a tour of  
our gardens and solar-powered facilities.
