NATIVE PRAIRIE GARDENThe Chesterfi eld Parks & Recreati on Division received a Community Stewardship Grant through the Missouri Department of Conservati on to turn a one acre fi eld of turf grass at Eberwein Park into an interacti ve nati ve prairie planti ng.

The prairie will incorporate walking paths throughout, and provide opportuniti es for learning about the plants, animals, and insects that share our parks. A seed mix of colorful nati ve perennial fl owers and grasses was installed in the fall of 2014. Many nati ve perennial fl owering plants take 3-5 years to start producing fl owers, so be prepared to discover new plants with each passing season and enjoy watching our prairie while it matures.
