Abstract: The invention is a method of processing grass sprigs comprising: digging the sprigs while in a dormant state; placing the thus dug grass sprigs in a plastic enclosure (i.e. a bag); sealing the plastic enclosure; and storing the grass sprigs as contained in the sealed plastic enclosure under predetermined temperature conditions so as to maintain the grass sprigs in the dormant state. The dormant sprigs can be taken out of storage at the desired time and transported to a planting site under substantially the same temperature conditions.
