Question:
Hi. Two things actually, yesterday I bought a plate of moss, there are about 5 different kinds, i would like to either make a moss garden, (I only have one big oak tree, which I would like to put the moss under, or to grow in the house as a moss garden), and the other thing is, I have some concrete statues, a budda, and a pagoda light (which over hangs a small 4 x 8 pond, I would like to have the moss cover and grow on these. Do you have any information about doing either thing, and also, since I do not know the type or names of what I bought, is there a site I can go to that would have pictures with names. I am an avid beginner gardner, and I am trying to keep my gardens as natural as possible.
