From the Author
Discover the exciting world of Ornamental Grasses
This encyclopedia is the result of 20 years of international research and photography and features over 500 full color images of garden-worthy grasses, sedges, rushes, restios, cat-tails and bamboos. Many are pictured in multiple seasons. Includes chapters on The Beauty of Grasses, The Families of Grasses and Their Relatives, The Names of Grasses, Learning from Grasses in Native Landscapes, Designing with Grasses, Growing and Maintaining Grasses, and the Encyclopedia section. This book is intended for gardeners in a wide range of situations and climates, and draws from the experience and creativity of great gardens and gardeners around the world. I believe it will be an invaluable tool for landscape architects, garden designers, nursery professionals, and home gardeners seeking to extend their knowledge of these beautiful and useful plants.
