In the fall of 2007/winter of 2008, the Austin Parks Foundation established a series of demonstration restoration plots in portions of Pease Park – tilling areas, applying dillo dirt and liquid compost and then planting a great mix of wildflower and grass seeds. Â Of course, we then experienced two years of drought, but some flowers and grasses did appear each of the two springs. Â Well, thanks to rains this fall, winter and spring, our plots along Kingsbury are looking good – here’s a few photos from yesterday. Â (we also planted 35 trees in this area and they are doing well thanks to irrigation installed at the same time.)
