The popularity of pocket prairies marks a significant shift toward citizen-led conservation and ecologically vibrant home landscapes. Native plants offer benefits that turfgrass simply can’t match—improved habitat, richer soil, cleaner water, and dramatically better support for pollinators, birds, and home-grown food. In short, pocket prairies bring nature home.
The public is invited to hear Kasey Hutchinson, Johnson County’s Environmental Regulations Coordinator and Pocket Prairie Program (PPP) administrator, present “Creating a Pocket Prairie in Your Landscape” at the Project GREEN Second Sunday Garden Forum on Sunday, Feb. 8, at 2 p.m. in the Iowa City Public Library.
