Moss gardening has been popular in Asia for millenia, but if you Google “moss” you will mostly find recommendations on the best ways to kill it!  Steve believes that moss can be an element of almost any garden or landscape and will talk about practical aspects of moss gardening with how-to’s and don’t-do’s.  He will also give some consideration to lichen, ferns and other lower vascular plants that feel comfortable in moss-friendly environments.
