Specifically, return native species to <br />rather than turf grass that depletes resources - favoring blue gramma, buffalo <br />grass. <br />• Could be included as a native plant demonstration garden <br />• A suggested location would be on the east side of the pavilion; remove grass <br />near the flagstone walkway. The Flagstone walkway there is a good location for <br />viewing Arboretum and creating a more attractive view to the east compared to <br />the rainwater retention area. <br />• This location is visible to visitors. <br />• Proposed species include blue stem, rabbit brush, cone flower, wild rose, native <br />shrubs, etc. <br />• Also, the west perimeter adjacent to police station could be planted with natives <br />that blend with foothills backdrop looking west, prairie sage, golden rod, yucca, <br />prairie grasses. <br />3 <br />
