Easy to care for, tempting to cuddle -- moss is having a real moment in naturally-styled homes everywhere. This stunning DIY for the entryway caught our attention in the pages of Decorating With Plants. It's not the kind of project that'll take over your weekend, but it may just get your hands dirty enough that you'll feel accomplished in the end. Here's how to make it happen...
To turn your entry into a quiet retreat from a busy world, keep your planting simple. Choose soft shapes, , an unobtrusive container and a harmonious and subdued color palette. Be sure to maintain an open path that allows for passing by with ease. This design takes its inspiration from the Saihoji Kokedera (moss temple) garden in Kyoto, which is mostly swaths of green mosses and where visitors instantly feel relaxed upon entering through the garden gates. To mimic that calming experience at home, display a pre-potted bonsai tree, or re-create this mini Japanese landscape with a handful of easy-to-find plants.
