The Moss Magic Garden seeks to harness the power of moss, bringing the magic of UK woodlands to an urban garden. Inspired by these ancient landscapes, the design centres on a small space that is contemporary, while celebrating the charm of the natural world.
A moss lawn provides the base of the design, encouraging eco-friendly gardening, emphasising both the beauty and functionality of moss. Connected to a new-build home, it shows the potential to create an oasis using simple techniques in a small space.
The sunken seating allows visitors to be immersed in the woodland-inspired planting. Moss Magic celebrates the beauty and heritage of moss, offering a portal to our enchanting British woodlands in the heart of urban living.
