Sorry to burst your habitat dome, but cool season grasses don't grow below 40F (4C). There are no trees or shrubs on Antarctica. The permafrost prevents root growth. The Curiosity rover which is near the equator, sees nighttime temperatures below -100F (-73C).
You can grow things under a temperature-controlled dome, but not out in the open on Mars today.
