Masses of Grasses

Join us in a panel discussion about varieties, planting tips, and ongoing maintenance of ornamental grasses, sedges and rushes. Whether  mixing them in a meadow, trying grasses in a small area, using them tucked into existing beds, or moving away from manicured lawns, let your inner wild side shine. This is a Zoom program led by Shannon Currey.

Shannon Currey is Marketing Director for Hoffman Nursery, a wholesale nursery in North Carolina specializing in ornamental and native grasses. Shannon has coordinated the plant evaluation program and now oversees the marketing program. Shannon also writes articles for national trade publications and gives talks on grasses to design professionals and industry organizations.
