Better Than Ever Catalog
The
2016-2017 Catalog of Grasses will be in our hands any day now--and we can hardly wait. This year we've concentrated on growers and the growing market for grasses and sedges used in green infrastructure.
There are more photos this year, and you'll find the helpful guides you've come to expect from the Hoffman Nursery catalog:
- plants for green Infrastructure projects
- drought tolerant plants
- shade tolerant plants
- plants for wet areas
- native species and cultivars
- listings by height and zone
You'll be able to pick up the new catalog at Cultivate'16 in Booth 2522. If you're not on our mailing list, your can request a catalog
online
. If you're not already hooked on grasses, beware--you may be hooked soon!

Visual summaries of the GIC Water Symposium captured exciting ideas and green infrastructure projects throughout the day. |
Water Symposium Focuses on Green Infrastructure
We were excited to learn that green infrastructure was the focus of the North Carolina Green Industry Council Symposium on Water, which was held June 16 in Raleigh, NC.
The symposium presentations highlighted green infrastructure projects and emphasized their importance to our industry and broader society. Dr. Charlie Hall's keynote address t
alked about the vital role green infrastructure will play in economic development. He noted people are beginning to recognize and understand the importance of nature in the health and well-being of us all. And that presents opportunities for the green industry.
