I visited
Moss Acres in Honesdale, Pennsylvania last week for a moss workshop.
We learned about moss biology and ecology, green-roofing with moss, and planting and designing landscapes with moss. Here's Dave Benner (who first ripped out his grass lawn in the 60's to discover that moss would grow well on his shady property) weeding the green roof.
There were all kinds of mosses growing around the property.
Moss leaves are only a single cell thick; it was breath-taking to examine them under a lens.
I think moss is so enchanting because it gives a feel of untouched, virgin landscape--but you can recreate the effect in your own backyard.
