Peat moss, in particular, is used in gardening and agriculture due to its moisture-retaining qualities. It is also often used in decorative terrariums and to retain soil moisture in indoor and outdoor pots. Moss is beautiful as a filler in flower arrangements. Second, it is low maintenance and can even grow on rocks, depending on the variety. What's the point of using moss? First of all, it is an attractive low-rise garden plant that helps to fill in empty spaces in a rock garden or the spaces between steps. It was one of the first plants to emerge on land 540 million years ago, along with algae and fungi. There are over 10.000 species of moss, so we won't cover them all here, but there is a variety of moss suitable for your needs. It is low growing and often – but not always – thrives in moist areas.

Moss is a type of vegetation without flowers and without roots. We will help you choose the perfect type of moss for your space. It may seem daunting as it doesn't grow like a typical rooted plant, and there are many varieties to choose from. If you're as in love with moss as I am, you've probably considered using it in your own garden. Because most moss is carpet-spread and low-maintenance, it's a great alternative to grass when you want something green.

The popularity of moss in landscaping began in Japanese gardens, and today, it is a popular choice for rock gardens and ground cover. Mosses grow almost anywhere, and there are so many different types of moss, it's easy to stumble upon this type of plant life. I have always been drawn to gardens that use moss, and finding it growing wild feels like a delight. The way it grows low to the ground and in clumps or mats is so unlike anything else.
