GARDENING / Update: Friendly grasses

ORNAMENTAL grasses come into their own in the second half of summer and, if left alone, provide excellent material for wind and frost to work on during the winter. A catalogue produced by Diana Grenfell and Roger Grounds at Apple Court, Hordle Lane, Hordle, Lymington, Hampshire SO41 0HU (0590 642130) offers a wide selection. Trevor Scott has a new list this year. He is at Thorpe Park Cottage, Thorpe-le-Soken, Essex CO16 0HN (0255 861308). Mr Scott's garden is open by appointment until mid-November. Apple Court is open daily (except Tuesday and Wednesday) from 9.30 till 5.30. Both nurseries offer a design service and do mail order. Plants are best sent out in autumn or next spring.
