Our national attention is turning to climate change. All the data say it's crunch time, and that plants are essential for building communities that can withstand these changes. A 2016 report from the EPA explored ways green infrastructure can improve community resilience. Ornamental grasses and sedges can be part of the answer in all the case studies cited in the EPA report. Grasses can help clean our water, reduce flooding, and lessen the effects of rising temperatures. Let's work towards a better environment.
