Moss in Japanese Gardens: Beauty & Function
Moss is a defining element of Japanese gardens, thriving in Japan’s humid climate. It blankets stones, trees, and pathways, creating a serene atmosphere. Unlike most plants, moss absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air, allowing it to grow even in nutrient-poor soil. It also acts as a natural air purifier.
This eBook explores different moss varieties, famous moss gardens, and practical tips for cultivating and maintaining moss in your own garden.
