Moss Magic Garden

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.

Key sustainability points
