Planting native plants in yards, gardens, fields, and roadsides is more popular than ever before, but maintaining a prairie plot is different from tending a more traditional lawn or landscape.

On this horticulture day edition of Talk of Iowa, Charity Nebbe talks about prairie maintenance with Brad Riphagan, a field coordinator with Trees Forever. He and Iowa State University Extension horticulturist Richard Jauron also answer listener questions.
