はじめまして、ガーデン デザイン ショップ 庭衆です。

Some weeks ago, Niwashyu staff went to a moss seminar at Nespas building Omotesando.

It was held by Echigokokesho, a company from Niigata, specialized in moss.
There was a short introduction of what conditions moss needs to grow properly like the need for slight acidity.
Everybody in the audience could ask questions, so we got quite some information about the problems that can occur when planting moss.
It can, for example, be a problem to install a moss garden within one kilometer from the sea. But after this zone, moss will have no problems with salty sea air.
We also learned, that a lot of moss sellers cut moss mats in a way, that it will need a long time to built new sprouts.
It was quite informative and a nice opportunity to learn something about growing and planting moss and see different varieties of moss in real.
