Prairie Planting
2023
Work on the pocket prairie started in the spring of 2023. Annual vegetable crops and some areas of non-native vegetation were removed to make way for drought tolerant native plants to support diverse animal populations. The transition will continue in 2024.
This area was seeded with wildflowers and grasses a number of years ago. The flower population is being refreshed by planting flower plugs and fresh seeds. The space will be managed by a mowing schedule that allows for multiple bloom times.
