Dennis Sharmahd will speak on his years of experiments with collecting and propagating rare fruits and herbs at his farm in Escondido.

Dennis is an edible landscaper, herbalist and mycologist. He grew up with rare fruits and an edible landscape garden in Lemon Grove, California. He has been exploring Mexico and Brazil for rare fruits, herbs, and mushrooms. He is also one of the early members of the San Diego Mycological Society and a former grower at Golden Gourmet Mushroom Farm.

We're grateful to Dennis for agreeing to speak on a short timeline after our previously scheduled June speaker became unavailable.
