Mountain Moss Enterprises is dedicated to increasing the awareness and
appreciation of bryophytes -- mainly mosses.
For over 5000 years, moss
has been recognized by the Japanese as an important component of the
spiritual experience in the Zen Moss Gardens of Kyoto. Many a hiker has
been delighted by the year-round green of magical mounds and lush logs
carpeted in moss in North America's mesic forests. Mountain Moss
creates moss gardens that allow you to experience the tranquility of western North Carolina's indigenous mosses in your own garden!
Yet, the first awesome view of this green expanse with its myriad shades of green and the sculpted textures of the moss terrain is upstaged when you look closer at these incredible miniature plants. Moss pincushions and carpets are actually colonies of thousands of tiny, individual, unique plants. Academic bryologists
and moss lovers continue to be fascinated with special
characteristics and reproductive process of this non-vascular
plant. Join me in taking a "closer look" at the joys and advantages MOSS and featuring bryophytes in YOUR own garden!
On a personal note, I am embarking upon this quest to share my passion for bryophytes -- mainly moss.
As a moss artist, I create gardens using all types of indigenous bryophytes in unique presentations of lush green emphasizing textures, shapes and shades of green. Using mosses rescued from site development is a focus of my garden features. As the GREEN concept becomes popular, it is my sincere hope that land use planners and developers will recognize this important aspect of responsible land stewardship and determine native plant rescue as an essential step when implementing green concepts.
Please Note: This site is intended for the general public to learn more
about the joys of MOSS and to promote GREEN Rescue! It is only a place to start learning about bryophytes from a "moss lover" whose has a passion for moss and practical experience "mossin'" and creating moss gardens. For more
