Our high desert area is working to educate kids on the natural, drought-resistant plants and a push towards a more natural and less uniform park landscape is building. Because so many of the parents have forgotten about the non-bluegrass park, signs are posted both conspicuously and hidden like little garden gems of knowledge in between columbines, or a plaque in the midst of a patch of buffalo grass. It’s planned, but with native vegetation. Our “Bark Parks” are taking a similar turn and our kids love visiting the “wild” parks over the alternatives. Big rocks, climbing walls – I love the previous post where posts are available for play!
