Garden Design - a Prairie Planting

Prairie Plantings are fairly new to UK gardens but are becoming increasingly popular. Defined by the use of grasses and wind/drought tolerant plants they are a good option for large exposed gardens where the tall grasses provide height and movement with a wonderful ability to catch the morning and evening sunlight.

• Costs: mainly plants but in a large garden this can mount up.
• Maintenance: low
• Advantages: require little watering, low maintenance and lovely in low light on summer evenings
• Disadvantages: needs a large area
