Prairie Exhibit in Hermann Park

Hermann Park has two wonderful prairie exhibits. Each exhibit was formed from rescued plant species native to the Houston metro region. Volunteers are needed to help edge the area, weed, and assist with moving plants to create walk ways through the prairie for visitors to get a closer look at the many species of Texas native prairie grasses and wildflowers. Native prairie plants in this exhibit where rescued from surrounding areas within the Houston metro region. Tools and materials will be provided. Participants will use shovels to move or transplant grasses. A chance to see what much of Houston looked like years ago, as part of a tall grass prairie system. Bring your cameras for close-up pictures of some amazingly beautiful native plants.   Takes place on Saturdays, please email to confirm. Please contact the volunteer department for the location.  Locations are at Bayou Parkland on Almeda Rd (1st & 4th Sat.) or next to the lake in the 'heart' of Hermann Park (2nd Sat.). Families, groups, teens and individuals welcome!
