It is ashamed the nursery is closing. I would love to visit it, but never could anyway. There is a lot of design detail and attention to detail at this place. The gravel paths are a nice touch, aesthetically, environmentally and practically. I too like chartreuse and use the color often for real design punch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861157226256566848.post-34104762799233552442012-11-09T12:51:47.217-08:002012-11-09T12:51:47.217-08:00I have always loved the name of that nursery: it s...I have always loved the name of that nursery: it so precisely captures the spirit of grasses.
