Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Country Cottage Look...


I love the look of English Country Cottage, and with that comes pots covered in wonderful green moss. Create your own mossy pots easily, just put 3/4 cup plain active cultured yogurt into a blender, add a handful of moss and about 3/4 cup water, and blend for about 30 seconds. Use a paintbrush to spread the mixture wherever you want moss to grow on your terracotta pots. You can also paint between the cracks of a stone path as long as the areas you choose are cool and shady. Keep misting the moss with water until it is established.

What a clever way to make a natural aesthetic change!

So that's how it is done. iI have always wondered. Have you see the Japanese gardens done completely in moss. Quite amazing.
