The best part of the George W. Bush Library is the Prairie Grass Park.

Bush Foundation, during a tour of the Texas interpretation of the White House Rose Garden at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas. A 15-acre park at the upcoming George W. Bush Presidential Center will recreate a Texas prairie, complete with a wildflower meadow, a special blend of native grasses and even trees transplanted from the former president's ranch.

Prairie Grass was promoted during the administration as a viable option for American Farmers to produce ethanol. He has right to the legacy.


...The park's landscaping, which was just completed this month, recreates the kind of prairie landscape that would have existed in the area before the city was here, said Mark Langdale, president of the George W. Bush Foundation.
The wildflower meadow should include Indian paintbrush, evening primrose, and, of course, Texas' beloved state flower, the bluebonnet, when it blooms next year....
The theme is NATIVE plants and grasses. The attack on invasive species in the USA began with vigor under the administration. Native plants are a wonderful reality for any state in the nation.
