This course features an engaging Apple Keynote presentation exploring the art and science of cultivating a moss lawn or garden. Topics will include how to establish and maintain a thriving moss landscape, as well as the essential role mosses play in the environment. Weather and time permitting, we will also venture into the natural beauty of Reflection Riding to observe mosses in their native habitat. Recommended reading: Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
