The Native Garden, located in the center of the uppermost parking lot is now up and running after considerable weeding and cleanup! A gravel pathway invites visitors to stroll amongst the plants and learn about the sagebrush steppe by reading the interpretive signage. The signs detail not only the plants defining features but also their uses by pioneers and Native Americans. The hope is that visitors will gain a deeper knowledge of the connections between history and the landscape.
Plants in the garden include; Bluebunch Wheatgrass, Idaho Fescue, Sagebrush, Rubber Rabbitbrush, and Bottlebrush Squirreltail. Next year the garden will add a few wildflowers, grasses, and signs to the display! Keep a lookout for these new additions!
