Ornamental grasses as a group were first introduced to me by Adrian Bloom. Over the last twenty years the use and beauty of ornamental grasses continues to grow. Getting to know the history of where they were and where they are today is very important to understanding how to use grasses in gardens. To help me get to that history Shannon Currey of Hoffman Nursery joined me for this story. Hoffman Nursery is a wholesale nursery based in North Carolina and was one of the first nurseries dedicated to growing incredible grasses for gardens.
