Pocket Prairies Open House

June 18 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Join us at upcoming open houses on Wednesday, June 18 from 4:30-6:00 p.m. at James River Park and Planters Grove Park to explore the project plans and ask questions!
Working in partnership with Mad Scientist Associates LLC, we’ll be designing and installing these specialized native plant habitats at three local parks:
Taylor Farm Park
Planters Grove Park
James River Park
These prairies will feature a diverse mix of native grasses and wildflowers. Each site will have tailored plant mixes, including wetland and upland varieties like Swamp Milkweed, Blue Flag Iris, and New England Aster.
These beautiful native plant installations are more than just pretty spaces; they’re vital for our local ecosystem and community well-being. They will:
Support pollinators crucial for local biodiversity
Reduce maintenance and mowing needs in our parks
Improve soil and water quality by naturally filtering runoff
Bring natural beauty and unique habitats to our neighborhoods
