The Garden Continuum is back in action and excited for the 2012 gardening season! This week we wanted to video blog about ornamental grasses. We love to incorporate grasses in the landscape but over time they can become overgrown and less attractive. Spring is a great time to dig them up and divide. Check out the video below for some how-to tips.

 

Grasses can grow fast. Determine whether or not it's time to make room for other plants

 Use an ax, hatchet, or shovel to assist you in dividing

Plant one of the divisions back in the original spot and use the remaining divisions to fill other garden spaces around your property.
