A very unique book for innovative landscape design!

"By incorporating ornamental grasses into your garden, you are doing more than choosing just another plant out of many available. You are inviting nature into your landscape. With their naturalistic simplicity, grasses are the perfect plants for a new gardening sensibility, one that works in harmony with the earth rather than strangling against it..." Fiona Gilsenan writes. She continues to discuss other aspects of the grasses: origin of the species and the "real" grasses. She also covers design techniques for grasses, the use of grasses in different type of gardens and locations, how to care for grasses, shopping for grasses, and troubleshooting. "Landscaping With Ornamental Grasses Sunset book" includes six chapters: the Nature of Grasses, the Lowdown, Standing Tall, For Every Garden, In and Out of Garden, and Grasses and Grasslike Plants. "Landscaping With Ornamental Grasses Sunset book" has 128 pages and over 250 beautiful interior photos. It is a very unique book for innovative landscape design!
