This across the street and down the slope from The Land Institute office. Nearby are monoculture plots of possible ancestors of future food crops.

The real-life size of this image is 4' wide by 16' tall. These cool-season grasses show life in the middle of a cold (single digit temps) winter. The plant on the right is Intermediate Wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium), a perennial. It is a close relative of the major crop Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), an annual s...
