Description & Details

****ENTRY TO THIS SALE WILL BE AT THE BACK DOOR****

 

I am honored to be conducting this moving sale for my neighbor and friend Maxine Stone.  Maxine is a dedicated MYCOPHILE, someone who loves hunting and learning about mushrooms.  She has written a field guide titled, "Missouri's Wild Mushrooms" (a guide to hunting, identifying and cooking the state's most common mushrooms.  Maxine continues to teach others about the art of mushroom hunting and identification at various St. Louis locations such as the Missouri Botanical Gardens (where she is also a master gardener) and Missouri Department of Conservation-Powder Valley (where she is also a Master Naturalist).

There is a fun collection of mushroom-related novelties at the sale as well as many decorative garden items among her beautiful gardens.  In fact, you are encouraged to walk through her garden paths where the "for sale" items (not the plants or the rocks!) will be tagged for you to see in their current locations and purchase.
