The Pfluger Circle, once a hot, uninspiring Bermuda grass circle, is now a peaceful gathering spot filled with flowering desert willows, Anacacho orchid trees, palmettos, and other native plants. The long, silvery stems of the ponyfoot have created solid green walls to balance the concrete bridge. The stone blocks offer Trail users a place to rest or meet at this major intersection along the Trail.
The Austin firm of Ten Eyck Landscape Architects designed this enhancement. Ten Eyck has woven architecture and landscape into an engaging, restorative and multi-sensory garden that delights Trail users, uses the rainwater runoff, and creates a gathering place at this major intersection of the Pfluger Bridge and the Trail.
