NATIVE PRAIRIE GARDEN

The Chesterfield Parks & Recreation Division received a Community Stewardship Grant through the Missouri Department of Conservation to turn a one acre field of turf grass at Eberwein Park into an interactive native prairie planting. Native prairies provide quality habitat and food sources for local wildlife, especially our pollinators. The prairie will incorporate walking paths throughout, and provide opportunities for learning about the plants, animals, and insects that share our parks. A seed mix of colorful native perennial flowers and grasses was installed in the fall of 2014. Many native perennial flowering plants take 3-5 years to start producing flowers, so be prepared to discover new plants with each passing season and enjoy watching our prairie while it matures.
