Moss Gardens

Moss gardens feature a variety of moss species, which are low-growing, non-vascular plants that thrive in moist, shaded environments. Moss gardens are often created in areas where traditional plants struggle to grow, such as under dense tree canopies, on shaded slopes, or in areas with poor soil. Moss adds a soft, green carpet-like texture to the landscape, creating a tranquil, naturalistic environment. Moss gardens require minimal maintenance once established, as moss does not need mowing or fertilization. However, they do require consistent moisture and shade to thrive. When designing a moss garden, it’s important to choose the right location and prepare the soil by removing weeds and debris. Moss gardens can be combined with other shade-loving plants, rocks, and water features to create a serene, low-maintenance landscape that evokes the feeling of a peaceful woodland.
