Below is a list of plants that were seeded in the newly created 4-acre prairie area. The listings in bold have been found and are confirmed to be growing without a doubt. The drought of 2023 makes the final results uncertain. Only time will tell if everything on this list will show up.
The process and progress of this project is being chronicled from the beginning to current on this page.
