A grassland garden incorporates the prairie aesthetic on a smaller scale. In a home landscape, it might be an area of lawn left unmowed and spot-planted with prairie plants and annuals as a pollinator pasture. In a neighborhood, church, or commercial site, a seeded prairie mix might serve as a cost-saving alternative to mowing acres of turfgrass. Regular weeding during establishment will be essential to the success of this garden.
