Tall Texas Native Grasses Garden Bed<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Texas Native Grasses bed is an example of an urban pocket prairie. Only 1% of the true Texas prairie grassland still exists today. The prairie ecosystem provides habitat\/food for wildlife and restores groundwater. In an urban garden, grass can add texture, structure and whimsy.\u00a0 Tall grasses like Lindheimer Muhley wave in the breeze and catch the light with their tall, fluffy flower panicles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
