Convert Farm Fields to Native Grasses

George Washington Birthplace National Monument » Convert Farm Fields to Native Grasses

To keep our current farm fields (soy) from becoming overgrown, the park proposes to participate in a project to plant the fields with native grasses. The park has acquired a special blend of seeds so the fields will retain its agrarian setting and feeling.
