There are about a thousand different species of mosses in Sweden, but despite their diversity and beauty, they have not yet received the attention they deserve.
This tribute to mosses is aimed at gardeners and plant enthusiasts, both beginners and seasoned, who are curious about the unique properties and practical utility of mosses. The mosses have a fascinating way of growing and thrive in varied, but very specific environments. Learn how to observe mosses in the forest, how to identify species, pick, grow and create your own outdoor and indoor projects - including moss landscapes in pots and glass and beautiful tied moss balls, so-called kokedamas. You'll also travel to some of the world's finest moss gardens in Japan and the US, meeting gardeners, artisans and scientists who share their passion for these multifaceted plants.
Ulrica Nordström is a writer and plant artisan with roots in the Norrbothnian moss forests. In recent years, she has created plant art under the name Siccus Stockholm and has also written the book Växtterrarier: En handbok (2016).
