Winter Greenery

How bright and cheery is this iridescent green moss in the drab leaves!

It's the perfect native substitute for a lawn too, so encourage it, don't lime it to get rid of it. It's beautiful, low-growing and a useful stabilizer and protection against erosion, as well as for recycling nutrients.

A variety of mosses can grow together in one patch, making for a varied and interesting substrate that is also soft and cushiony underfoot.
