ACL Fest Grass Sprouts Up in Just a Day

ACL Fest, the 3day music festival in Austin, Texas is held at Zilker Park each year. In previous years the festival has had issues with the lawn being dry; one year there was a dust cloud and people came to the festival with medical masks. So last year the folks at C3 Productions who put on ACL Fest and the City of Austin Parks and Recreation folks got together and installed a sprinkler system and new grass in Zilker Park. In honor of this monumental event, ACL Fest gave out to VIP's a canister with dirt and Zilker grass seed, a little memento to take back.

At Threadgills they had free pre festival live music and they were giving the tins out to VIP's. My mom was able to snag me one of the tins that was left behind. So, I planted the seeds and set it on the window sill. Here are the pics from Day 2 and Day 3. It is amazing how much it grew from one day to the next!
