An ornamental grass nursery

After two growing seasons (2006,2007), we were able to divide and transplant grasses to other locations as the experiment expanded to over .5 acre. Some 50 odd grasses were divided/moved. already planning for Spring 2009 dividing and transplanting.

Calamagrostis acutiflora Karl Foerster divided into 5 1-gallon plants each. A great architectural grass for this area -- with supplemental drip irrigation it is green from early Spring well into the Fall and has an extraordinary winter presence.

After early Spring division (April aqui en Taos), here is one example of a new OG patch accompanied by the hardy geranium ground cover "Rosanne".

After three growings seasons
