Read the full class description here.

Build a 5-plant native garden for your balcony, patio or porch to bolster birds, bees and butterflies! 

Join Eric Manges of Eric Manges Nature, Holy Wisdom Monastery, SOS Save Our Songbirds, and Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance for a presentation about growing native plants in any location — including a small balcony or front porch — and how that container of native plants can support wildlife.

No yard? No problem! This event is designed for individuals who want to help wildlife from their balcony or porch. Have a yard? That’s great! You’re welcome and invited to participate too!

The presentation, plants, and potting soil are included in the cost of the workshop. You can bring your own container (#5 size, which is approx. 11” wide and 11” tall) or pay $5 for us to provide a container for you.
