We have supplied this moss with great success for many show gardens, including The Beardy Gardener for BBC Gardeners World Live (Gold Medal), Caley Bros at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2023 (Gold Medal) and this year for The National Autistic Society Garden at RHS Chelsea (fingers crossed for another gold medal)!
You may receive one or more pieces depending on the size of the individual sheets.
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.
The secret world of moss is all around us, yet most know so little about it. Learn to look at moss in a new way and appreciate why this beautiful plant is a vital part of ecology.
