My wife and I have just transplanted TONS of moss onto our hillsides of a double terrace back yard. Easy to do and sooo beautiful.

One of my fondest memories is of a garden in Nelscot on the Oregon Coast that was all moss...like a jewel, and so soft and sensuous under bare feet.ricki 'sprig to twig'http://bannersbyricki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335321786750265682.post-10565667797005488472011-04-05T15:32:45.841-07:002011-04-05T15:32:45.841-07:00There's something about moss.

But I did admire a beautiful moss garden in Madison, WI, last fall in the garden of my friends Linda and Mark, of Each Little World blog.

It reminds me strongly of the Portland Japanese Garden...they have a large hilly area covered in moss which is at its best right about now...and again in the fall...so very lovely and peaceful.

If the lawn is full of moss, it's probably getting too much shade he explains. I love the mossy look too.
