My Ideal Backyard

Sustain Dane hosts an exciting springtime series of seminars to turn your backyard into a sustainable oasis.  “My Ideal Backyard” is an eight-part series; part book club, part get-your-hands-dirty workshop, these series of interactive classes teach how to put together a sustainable backyard.

Topics have included: installing a raised bed, adding a water catchment system, building a chicken coop—and more!

Throughout the program, participants meet with experts and practitioners to learn the reasons for backyard gardening—and then take those skills to their own homes.

Each week, participants meet at one person’s backyard and install that week’s lesson. Limited availability.

Keep an eye out later this year for announcements about next spring's program!
