Moss Lawns?!

Okay so we all agree, lawns suck are outdated and useless relics introduced by the French Monarchy to flex on everyone else, but have we considered:

Moss Lawns 😄

Benefits:

1. Massively photosynthetic- produce loads of oxygen
2. Doesn’t require fertilising– ever! Mosses actually prefer low nutrient soil!
3. Doesn’t require mowing! Mosses are non vascular so they never grow tall enough to need mowing
4. Low maintainance- see above
5. Improving the air quality around you- mosses can metabolise and absorb a variety of airborn pollutants!
6. Massively improving your home’s Cottagecore and fairytale vibes, I mean look at it it’s beautiful

Looking online I’ve learned that this is a thing! And it’s actually been popular in Japan for hundreds of years!

That makes me really happy actually because if you know me you’ll know I love moss, not only is it cool af but 12 square metres of moss lawn can apparently absorb as much carbon as 275 mature trees. Stunning and brave.

As we all know it’s much easier to work with nature than against it, we’re all busy and tired and maybe… maybe just let the moss have this one? It’s beautiful.
