Trickling Water
This was one of the yards we walked through in the 2010 Michael J Fox Foundation Garden Walk, to benefit Parkinson's Disease research. This little stream runs along the side of the lot at 612 Staunton Road in Naperville, IL. They call it Prairie Sun and the home is designed to look like a wild prairie. There are 100 species of savanna, dry prairie, and desert plants on the roof. There are over 340 species of native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, prairie grasses, sedges and wetland plants in the 1/3 acre lot.
