Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

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.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Discovering grasses -- A natural community of grasses -- Designing with grasses -- From wild grasslands to the garden -- Reinventing the classic plant border: a naturalistic experiment -- Right grass, right place -- Grasses for a greener world -- Looking after grasses -- Directory of grasses and grass-like plants.
