Grasses, lawns & lawn alternatives

With such variety in size and colour if ever a group of plants were chosen for their aesthetic possibilities, these are they! Equally at home in urban gardens or rural spaces open to the countryside, grasses are hard to beat. Create a beautiful lawn or if you want to explore the alternative to traditional grass there are some great plants which are brilliant for wildlife and much better for the environment than plastic lawn. Ornamental grasses make superb space-fillers, adding texture and structural interest in your outdoor space.
