    £6.00 £5.10

    Reduce waste and support sustainable gardening with our bulk imperfect moss selection. This 15-litre bag may contains a variety of live mosses, including carpet moss, cushion moss, feather moss, and sheet moss, perfect for gardening projects. These mosses are ideal for planting in your garden, creating Christmas wreaths, moss lawns, hanging basket liners, or planter toppers.

    The mosses in this mix didn’t pass our high-quality standards and couldn’t be sold at full price. However, they are still excellent for use in a variety of moss projects. We offer them at cost to cover packaging and running expenses, ensuring they are not wasted and can be reused in your garden or indoor moss projects.

    Please note that the moss is sent in its natural state, meaning it may include soil, bark, and some grass growing through the moss. This is part of the natural moss harvesting process. There may be also insects, worms etc hence we advise to submarine the moss in water for around 30minutes before use if necessary. If you’re looking for something more refined or perfect, please check our other live moss products for higher-quality options.

    Please note that as we have the sheet moss in its natural state, there will be variances in the colour and shape of the moss. We may pick a very similar species in some circumstances.

    To keep our moss at the highest quality, we only keep a limited stock of a few square metres of each type at a time. We can quickly gather moss for any larger orders, but please allow for up to 10 days for us to pick, pack and ship your moss if you require a large amount.
