Great Plains Garden Overview
In 2001, Linda, along with the Great Plains Native Plant Society, dedicated the Claude A. Barr Memorial Great Plains Garden.
The garden will preserve white penstemon, red globe mallow, lanceleaf bluebells, golden pincushion cactus and dozens of other native plants on 350 acres of Linda’s ranch.
A log cabin is being re-assembled on the site to serve as a visitor center.
Once the Society has surveyed and labeled plants and installed walkways and other conveniences, the site will be open to the public.
Donations to the GPNPS help fund this project-- the first public garden to be founded specifically for the display of native plains plants. Members of the GPNPS receive a quarterly newsletter and may participate in field trips and seed exchanges. Volunteers to help at the Great Plains Garden site are greatly appreciated.
