The pocket prairie flanks the corner of an urban neighborhood just north of Downtown Houston. Currently in the establishment phase, the pocket prairie was planted with a mix of nursery-grown containers, custom native seed mixes, and live root plant saplings for the best establishment of wildflowers and grasses. The prairie is dynamic each day as it catches the sun and shade against the grey metal of the house facade. Throughout the year it blooms in yellow, white, lavender, and pink against a backdrop of finely textured wild grasses with cloud-like seed heads dancing in the wind.
