Native Planting

This reminds me of the fields we ran through as kids on vacation and the lots not yet occupied by homes in Shawnee Village when I was growing up. But this is an intentional native planting at the Shawnee Mission School District Center for Academic Achievement. It is part of the Do Not Mow, Let It Grow plan providing filtering of storm runoff, a wildlife habitat and improved water quality.
