Grasses: Versatile Partners for Uncommon Garden Design Paperback – February 1, 2002

Water damaged, quick delivery, great book

Pretty photosof grasses. However most of these are hard to find (I've searched and searched) so without a list of sources this bookis of little practical use.

After first thumbing through this book at my local Extension, I bought a copy for myself. I enjoyed many hours of reading and studying all of the excellent information, and admiring the beautiful photographs. Guided by the garden designs provided, I created my own ornamental grass garden at our creek not too much different than the cover photo. I also added many featured perennial grasses to my backyard meditation garden--even added the two purple Adirondack chairs shown on Page 79. Having received many positive comments, I have bought copies of this book from Amazon for other local avid gardeners. It is the best informational grass book I've found. Karen F

This book is full of great photos of grasses in gardens, and I find it inspirational. It shows grasses mixed with other common perennials in situations most gardeners could replicate in their own gardens. The author includes growing tips and site preferences for many different species.There are some books you always reach for on a certain type of plant, and this is the one I find myself always reaching for on grasses. I happen to be a Master Gardener who loves ornamental grass gardening.

Great reference book for varieties of grasses. I bought this to plan out a hillside landscaping project, and found grasses that would suit my objectives. The book identifies grasses for special situations (hillsides, lawn replacement, full sun, shade, etc.). Lots of pictures, good descriptions of maintenance required, size of fully-mature plants, regional matches, etc.I needed to acquire other books as well (in order to plan other segments of the landscaping project), but this is definitely the best book I found on grasses.

Great for landscaping ideas and good explanations of the "why" of choices. A reference book that you will actually use!

Second one of these for me- gave first one to nephew studying landscape in college- in West Texas. I needed the book again to work on my own yard again. This book is all you need for grasses and ideas for a great yard- it is a keeper best one I have found -(just order an extra one for sharing).

This book will so turn you on to grasses in general. It'll make you want to run out and buy a ton of different grasses to landscape your yard with. Nice to just peruse through.
