When LISH reader Betsy wrote me about what she has done with moss around her home and in her gardens, I asked if she could send some photos. Lucky us! Fawn over them with me.Betsy says that she just takes a little from the woods around her house, tucks the moss in the spot where she would like it to grow/spread/do its magic and even when it looks like it might not make it, she says that it comes back the following spring - in full. Look at those stepping stones! What little woodland sprite wouldn't love to trollop along that path?!
So there you have it. Moss gardening made simple. With the patience and creativity I can only aspire to having. Thank you, Betsy!
Mossily yours,
Tracey

Hi Philip/Moss Lover - Welcome!
Betsy - Thank YOU for letting me share your gardens . . . !
Hey, don't forget, you can also do a "moss milkshake". Take several clumps of moss (of different types) growing in a similar kind of area as where you intend to plant. Put in a blender with buttermilk and blend coursely. Spray or paint anywhere you want moss (including clay pots!)
*Totally* Lonnie. That is what I am going to do this weekend. Post to follow!! Thanks!
Yeah! This is the stuff!
