Moss Garden

It's tough to get a good photo of the moss garden, which is on the east side of my house. The only sun it gets is dappled morning light. When I decided to do something (anything!), the only thing that looked good was the moss that grew naturally. So I laid down a thick layer of newspaper, covered it with dirt. Using chunks of moss from that same area, I laid them on top. I did water pretty regularly that first year. For added interest, we've added medium rocks, stepping stones, and a shredded wood chip path. I weed twice a year--early spring and fall. The maintenance is easy and it looks good, like living velvet..
