Reviews"[An] informative guide to a unique style of gardening." -- Publishers Weekly "The author flawlessly blends botanical descriptions and artistic sensibilities so that evocative summaries, accompanied by vivid photos, help readers understand the tactile and visual delights of moss, as well as its environmental benefits. . . . perfect for anyone interested in growing moss. A viable alternative to lawns, moss is thoroughly explained in this one-of-a-kind tome from the owner of Mountain Moss Enterprises in North Carolina." -- Library Journal starred review " The Magical World of Moss Gardening covers everything you need to know to get started with moss gardening." -- Kitsap Sun "Any conversation about the nuanced delights of moss gardening is usually overshadowed by lawn bores wanting to know how to eradicate the stuff. Here is the antidote.
