Additionally, unlike sod, these pocket prairies can also be beneficial to pollinators such a as birds and butterflies. Visit a Duke Gardens pocket prairie project in a nearby parking lot for a show and tell demonstration of the way the ecological benefits of prairies can coexist with a built environment. You'll leave with a plant list and an appreciation for the power of prairie plants.
