These guys are magical in more ways than one. Come and learn how fantastic fungi grow and function in the garden at this Babylonstoren workshop on 29 July 2026.

Spend the day with Tiaan Combrink to discover more about the functions and uses of fungi in our garden. Walk the Babylonstoren farm to better understand how fungi fulfil a vital role in our garden, from plant health to insect and pathogen biocontrol.

Enter the mushroom room to see how we cultivate different types of mushrooms for our restaurants. Tiaan will also share and demonstrate a few tricks to cultivate beautiful oyster mushrooms to grow (and harvest!) at home. Babel’s chefs will take the wonder of fungi from garden to table with a mushroom-inspired lunch.

Presented by Tiaan Combrink.
