Collapse ▲Written by NC State Extension Master Gardener volunteers of Wake County
The Crowder Prairie Garden was established in 2014 by the NC State Extension Master Gardener volunteers of Wake County in coordination with the Crowder County Park Staff. It was envisioned to demonstrate the importance of prairies as a natural habitat that supports a diverse population of birds, butterflies, insects, and other native wildlife. A prairie is a natural-looking garden of native grasses and wildflowers that add color and attract pollinators to the landscape.
Some of the native flowers found in the garden are Butterfly Weed, Baptisia, Coreopsis, Queen Anne’s Lace, Cardinal Flower, Carolina Jasmine, Bee Balm, Mountain Mint, Cone Flower, Rudbeckia, Joe Pye Weed, Muhly Grass, Green and Gold Chrysanthemums, and other native plants.
By maintaining this important ecosystem, we hope to help preserve wildlife that may otherwise become threatened. We do not use irrigation systems, fertilizer, or pesticides. Our challenges are decreasing sun due to encroaching pines and hardwoods, no water source, and eradication of invasive weeds.
