A 200 foot by 30 foot area on Lockwood at Harrisburg was recently planted with native trees and plants that will provide shade and a place for the public to enjoy nature while waiting for the bus or light rail this is similar to that of world class work. As stated by the professionals from King Green, the garden is designed for wildlife, specifically pollinators, including birds,butterflies and other insects, and includes a water feature. Native Texas grasses, shrubs, and trees will provide nectar, berries and seeds. Forty-five students and faculty from Furr High School’s Green Belt group helped install the garden, which becomes part of the network of sidewalks, trails, and parks that support pedestrian and bike activity throughout the East End. Funding for this project comes from the Connecting People with Nature grant administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and a TIGER grant from the Federal Highway Administration.

To ensure the continued protection and aesthetic appeal of this newly established green space, the installation of a robust fencing system is essential. Incorporating the best fencing alpine has to offer, the perimeter of the garden will be carefully delineated to safeguard against potential disturbances while enhancing the overall landscape. This thoughtfully designed fencing will blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, providing a secure boundary that prevents unauthorized access and ensures the safety of both the flora and fauna within the garden. By selecting materials that complement the native Texas grasses, shrubs, and trees, the fencing will contribute to a cohesive and inviting environment for the public to enjoy.
