Martin Brothers Statue

This area is comprised of little bluestem blaze grass, Karl Foerster grass, catmint, and yarrow.  Because the horse is running in the "prairie", I decided to make it more uniform and have it all little bluestem blaze grass.  The other plants were overgrown after several years.  In the spring of 2020, I dug them out and planted them in different locations. I then dug, divided and replanted the grass in this area.  



This photo is in the winter of 2019 when all varieties of plants are here.  The spaces should fill in with grasses by winter of 2021.
