The Encyclopedia of Grasses for Livable Landscapes

by Rick Darke

In addition to the photographic encyclopedia of over 400 grass species, this book offers a thoughtful examination of the use of grasses in landscapes. Grasses can grow well with little or no irrigation and can serve as anchors for other landscape features. Although emphasis is often placed on the use of native species in environmentally friendly gardens, Darke finds that hardy nonnative (and noninvasive) species often do well in challenging environments such as brownfields or urban gardens. A large, well-designed, and beautifully illustrated volume, this book is a good fit for landscape architects, particularly those involved with the design of public spaces.
