Just so enjoyable
This season I built three moss gardens for a private client who lives about an hour from my home. He has a great deal of garden antiques in his gardens, many from Europe.These photos are of the first garden, started in March. They show me building the outline of two mounds with mossy rocks I found nearby--over 300 in total. Then I filled in the areas with mainly Thuidium delacatulum moss. I added oak bark mulch between the two areas and around a fountain of two children holding a large fish. This structure used to be an operating fountain in England, and it was built in Italy in the 1800s. The tubing is still intact, so it might be operating again in the future.
I was looking for gardens to visit this summer and found your site. The end result of your work of the statue with the children holding the fish is quite wonderful and I am looking forward to your ensuing pictures and visiting your gardens in July. Thank you for sharing as I am now getting better than ever ideas about my own small green space.
