If you think that moss gardening is a magical type of garden that only takes place in Japanese gardens or hidden woodlands, you’re in for a surprise.
It is absolutely possible for you to create your own moss garden. Although the Japanese have been doing it for centuries, we have just begun to understand that moss can add calm, serenity and a timeless quality to any garden. It is also a low maintenance alternative to grass lawns or groundcovers.
The only requirements for growing moss plants are shade, acidic soil and moisture. It is also important that the area where the moss is to be grown be kept free of any competing plant material. A great source for helping you in selecting the right moss for your garden is mossacres.com.
