Moss . . . it appears in random places in your yard, sidewalk and other unexpected places.  You try to get rids of it but it keeps coming back.  What do you do?

 Embrace it!!  Learn to see the beauty of moss and even create a garden to celebrate it.

 Moss loves acidic soil and once established, it can be fairly drought-tolerant.  In fact, it makes a great ground cover to help retain moisture for other plants.  It usually grows best in consistently moist areas and in the shade.

 There are many varieties of moss that can provide different colors, textures and heights.  Imagine putting out squares of Scottish and Irish moss to make a checker board in your yard.

 Moss would also be a perfect base for a child’s fairy garden.

 Do a bit of research to see what would work best for your and have fun!
