of the Fence
Go
wild and go natural. More and more gardeners are finding out why ornamental
grasses are so popular. Beyond the environmental bonuses, natural grasses
can add beautiful color and texture to your garden, in more than the typical
shades of green.
Initially, natural grasses became common landscape elements because of their
drought tolerance and a growing philosophical trend toward native plants.
While still wise options for those reasons, natural grasses have some very
clear benefits for any gardener.

shapes, and in a variety of rich earth tones, natural grasses are
wonderful landscape plants. They provide a graceful, peaceful look.

natural resistance to many types of common pests. And last, the fact
that they're drought tolerant hints at these ornamental grasses naturally
low maintenance requirements.
