"Prairie Plots" is a living installation at Rice University that replaces 10,000 SF of turf grass

A pop-up prairie garden in the shadow of Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music and adjacent to the Turrell Skyspace intends to exemplify what Houston’s future landscape could - and probably should - look like.
“Prairie Plots” is a living installation created by Maggie Tsang, a Wortham Fellow at Rice Architecture, in collaboration with Rice’s Facilities, Engineering and Planning Department. Installed by volunteers, it incorporates more than 1,300 plants and seeds, including grasses, selected for their ability to thrive in a harsh climate.

I am planning on going to Rice in the future. Seeing the amazing thought process and impact of these people is amazing.
