moss gardens
Lush green carpets
Moss gardens are deliberately cultivated spaces featuring moss as the primary ground cover, prized for their soft texture, rich green color, and low-maintenance character.
The tradition is strongly associated with Japanese garden design, where moss creates a sense of age and tranquility: The temple's moss garden glowed after the rain.
Unlike lawn grass, moss thrives in shade and requires no mowing.
