Discover The Beauty Of Moss
Moss is the perfect landscaping
solution for your home and yard
You can easily create a beautiful moss garden around your home and backyard with a variety of mosses and moss rock arrangements to suit you.
Moss has been around longer than any other plant life, pre-dating the dinosaurs, and scientists believe it is the very first plant to have grown on land. Preferring dampness and low light, mosses are commonly found in forests and on rocks around the edges of streams in most areas of North America.
Because of its ability to thrive in shady areas and where
poor soil conditions exist, moss is the ideal plant for filling
in those bare areas in your yard with lush greenery that
will enhance the beauty of a garden or a landscaped yard.
Many gardeners and landscapers are using moss for a
unique addition to their designs.
Although there are over 1200 species of moss in North
America, the most commonly known and recognized by
most people consist of four different varieties that are
sold commercially and used for gardens and landscapes.
Moss can be planted anywhere because it adheres to almost any surface. Taking its nutrients from the moisture in the air, it does not need to be planted in soil. Moss can be put between patio stones, as an edging around a garden and along walkways and flagstones. There are many possibilities.
It typically grows on damp soil, tree bark, rocks, concrete, and
most stable surfaces, so it can be planted in any area where
there is an absence of direct sunlight. Moss will die when
exposed to sun for any extended period of time, sometimes
for less than a couple of hours.
Moss can also add a certain calmness and stillness to a yard
that makes one feel at ease. The Japanese have believed this
and have been creating elaborate moss gardens and adorned
their temples with the plant for centuries. They believe that
moss provides a sense of serenity and peace of mind and is
in concert with the spiritual aspects that help guide our lives.
Moss is generally easy to maintain, especially with preparation prior to and during planting. There is no need for fertilizers, pesticides, or other chemicals to add to the growth of moss, it needs no mowing, it requires little weeding, and pesky animals do not eat it.
