Ornamental Grasses

Today, I attended a Horticulture online workshop (webinar).

The topic was "Right Grass, Right Place: Incorporating Ornamental Grasses Into Your Garden."

The presenters were Pamela Straub and John Friel of Santa Rosa Gardens.

They covered cool weather grasses, warm season grasses, grasses for large spaces, small garden selections, shade tolerant grasses, when you need a splash of color, annual grasses, winter interest, and grasses for the patio container.

A Q& A session followed their presentation.

Very educational and well worth attending.

Did you ask any questions?

I did not ask any questions, but there were several interesting questions.

I was particularly interested in the question about invasiveness of ornamental grasses.

The presenters indicated that the invasiveness of ornamental grasses is all hype and no substance.
