About the Event
Shifts in attitudes toward native plants, ecological landscapes, and progressive planting design are making grasses and sedges more popular than ever. They play many roles, from low-key groundcover to seasonal superstar. They lessen the need for maintenance, fertilizer, and pesticides. Their ability to anchor the soil and help manage stormwater gives them a workhorse reputation, but their aesthetic qualities make them essential for looks as well. With a focus on functionality, learn about native grasses and sedges and discover where they do their best work.
