Riassunto

Designing with Grasses shows gardeners not just what grasses are available, but how to design with grasses in different settings, including meadows, lawns, green roofs, and more. Design ideas are supported by carefully devised maintenance techniques, design checklists that make designing achievable by gardeners of all ability levels, and lists of grasses best for a variety of situations, including low-maintenance, drought-tolerant alternatives to the traditional lawn grasses and grasses suitable for green roofs and erosion control. An encyclopedic A to Z of grasses includes profiles with information on growth and care.

Recensione:

[Designing with Grasses] should become a classic... This book is very good value for money. The content of Timber Press books is always first rate, and in this case the design is also strong, helped by excellent photography, and a nice, chunky format. --Noel Kingsbury, Gardens Illustrated

This book is written by one of the most passionate nurserymen in the UK. His knowledge combined with technical advice and great photography make this an inspirational book, suitable for all keen gardeners. --Ian Bull, The Garden

There is perhaps no other book that explains this style of planting so thoroughly and cogently: if you want to plant like this, you should buy it. --Tony Lord, The Plantsman

The popularity of gardening with grasses shows no sign of waning. Neil Lucas is the owner of Knoll Gardens, a specialist nursery in Dorset. There's nothing he doesn't know about grasses, and with so many to choose from, a bit of guidance is most welcome. --Rachel de Thame, The Sunday Times
