How to Create a Moss Garden

Mosses are plants that develop from spores rather than seeds. They thrive naturally in most temperate areas around the world. Though they develop in moist soil, mosses can grow on any hard surface, and are often seen on tree bark, rocks and other solid areas. As a result, mosses are ideal for adding a luscious green look to any garden or to use as a ground cover substitute for grass.
