Sounds like your enclosures are going to be great Suze! I love buying and planting for mine and watching them establish year on year. Enjoy your torty landscaping!

I managed to pick up some big grasses very cheap in the winter months at a local garden center, they were literally thrown away in a corner and they were only to pleased to get rid of them. Planted in the garden they soon recovered when the weather got better, I assume that centers have a clear out at the end of the season and maybe don't keep some of the plants for the following year anyway its worth having a nose around out of season, I paid £5 for about 6 big plants.
