Our handpicked moss is a cost-effective and sustainable moss alternative to imported options. Ethically harvested from our exclusive sites in northern Scotland, this moss is collected before any forestry operations begin, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
✅ Natural and Authentic
This is a fresh, living moss product, collected directly from the wild and shipped in its natural state. Expect small woodland elements like pine needles, twigs, and leaves. These natural additions make it ideal for terrariums, reptile enclosures, and rustic-themed crafts.
This is the same top-grade British moss trusted by London Zoo, showcased in RHS Flower Show gardens, and featured on BBC Gardeners’ World. Though slightly more affordable than our colour-specific options, this mix offers the same vibrant freshness, high quality, and versatility.

💧 Water
💧💧💧 (High) – Sphagnum Moss needs to stay moist to maintain its vitality. Water frequently to ensure it never completely dries out. Mist the moss regularly to keep optimal moisture levels.
