Planting native prairie grasses


 
Top photo (middle of the frame) shows recent planting at San Jacinto Monument which included 250 native prairie grasses.  These plants begin from the seeds gathered by Texas Master Naturalists and members of The Native Plant Society of Texas from prairies in and around the Houston area.  The bottom photo is showing varying stages of growth of eastern gamma grass, switch grass, yellow Indian and Big Bluestem which will be planted at San Jacinto Monument grounds and other pocket prairies and nature centers.
