Re: The American Meadow Garden : Win A Free Copy of John Greenlee's Book!

Years ago I purchased a book by John Greenlee titled 'The Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses'. This book and my fascination with grasses led me to name my sustainable landscape design practice--Dancing Grass Designs. Greenlee and Oehme van Sweden are the leaders of this American Meadow Garden movement. Thanks goes to Kurt Bluemel for growing these wonderful grasses too. Greenlee's new book sounds like just the right design tool for my practice.

Re: Welcome to Cool Green Gardens - A view from the Left Coast

Hi Billy, I've never blogged before; you're my first. Love your writing style and thoughts on sustainability!

I look forward to reading everyone's posts and will share my thoughts as well. (My background: Master's degree in sustainable landscape design. Newly minted LEED AP.)
