Hill Country native grasses are not only beautiful too\, but important! \n\n\n\nGillespie County Horticulture Extension Agent Elizabeth McMahon will go over what exactly makes a native grass “beautiful\,” provides examples of “beautiful” grasses in the Texas Hill Country\, and reminds us how native grasses are just as important as wildflowers.
