Jaycee Park contains several beds of colorful annuals near the road, surrounded by a lawn that slopes down to a small lake. Texas This project, funded by a Wray Trust Mini-Grant, was designed and installed in 1997. The landscaped areas are located around the perimeter of the building on either side of the front entrance and at one corner of the building. We placed dry arroyos through two of the beds to channel the flow of water from downspouts that drain into the areas. All of the perennials, shrubs and grasses are native to within 50 miles of Dallas, as stipulated in the grant requirements.
Water is provided with an irrigation system.
The Dallas chapter maintains the beds on a regular basis. Texas This project, installed in 1999, is a Wray Trust Mini-Grant demonstration garden. The garden is on either side of a north entrance at a HUD residence complex for retired persons. The garden design includes perennials, shrubs and grasses that are shade tolerate and native to within 50 miles of Dallas. The Native Plant Society of Texas, Dallas Chapter, The Native Prairies Association of Texas and Texas Parks and Wildlife joined efforts in 1996 to begin a long-term prairie restoration project at the park.
