Re: Grasses Book

"Grasses"  was available in the Barnes & Noble bookshop at the Philly 
Flower Show, and I can say from first-hand perusal that the featured 
gardens and photographs are truly lovely.  I highly recommend the book 
to all.  I've been a skeptic about the merits of ornamental grasses in 
most gardens because I've seen so many  where they are used to dreadful 
effect. However, in this book the grasses are so exquisite in their 
setting, and the combinations of colors and textures in the designs are 
so delightful and creative,  it made a convert of me.  Well done, Saxon, 
and may you enjoy huge sales!  Catriona
