Assisted my daughter with her 7^th Grade science project as we drove around town looking for drought resistant grass seeds.  They were hard to find this time of year, not being growing season and all.  Plus, many nurseries do not carry some varieties, like Buffalo grass, since most home owners do not think it pretty enough. Then two varieties have to be grown from trimmings, not seeds.  My daughter taught me that other varieties are;  Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bahia and Fescues.  Good to know.  These are the neat things you learn with a science project.  It is one thing to have a good idea, but then can you find your materials to execute it?  I think it teaches one to think ahead and plan for contingencies.
