Although succulents and cacti are two of her specialties Anna has been growing and designing with ornamental grasses for decades. From species that thrive on the borders of ponds and wetland to the statuesque and towering grasses that love dry and sunny locations, Anna’s gardens showcase an ornamental grass for every environment.
As the effects of the climate crisis become ever more evident growing and designing with grasses becomes a more important tool in the gardener’s planting book. Perennial grasses offer many benefits from prevention of erosion, improving water retention, and the deep roots of some native grasses promote the soil-food-web.
Anna’s presentation will teach us the how’s and why’s of “Designing with Ornamental Grasses” and she will be bringing a broad selection of grasses for sale as well.
