Well, Sorta....
Have you seen the little Fairy Gardens or the Moss Terrariums that
everyone seems to be creating?
I have & just love them,
I've always liked little things, so moss under glass fills the bill on that....
the other day while I was taking spring photos at Carmalot
[previous post]
I spotted some of the soft little green stuff growing between the bricks
on path that leads to the bridge over the pond.....
[that sounds like the words to a song]
Since it was a day full of sunshine,
I brought a few supplies over to Mandy's
to do a little Gardening project with my Grands...
When I arrived, the girls were cleaning up their bedroom,
so I had to wait awhile, even went in to help out a bit....
after that, this Bubbie took
Memphys, Emersyn & Miller
outside to look for Moss & do alittle planting
holding up the supplies
misting the peat moss they just put inside
was that a Bug?
Eme digging up some moss
above is the finished garden, after the photo
we put the lid on the end & took it inside to hopefully
continue to green & grow...
~~~~~~~
below are the little gardens I planted the other day,
they are greening up so nicely...
I think the kids had a fun time, Miller lost interest real
quick & went to driving his trucks over the lawn,
Memphys promised to water it every day, which
I promptly told her it won't need much water at all
Eme, was just Eme....
~~~~~~~
I didn't follow the special rules for growing moss that
I've recently read about, like specific soil & charcoal,
for now, I used just what I had...
if these continue to grow, I think I will read up on them
& also order some different kind
which I see are available on eBay
I just found a new {new to me}

I think gardening is a great thing to to with kids. Your little moss gardens came our great! I did a fairy garden last year and need to try a moss garden next. Hope you have a great week, Laura
ReplyDeleteHow fun - and I know the kids had fun - my kids love to do stuff with Grandma!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special thing for the kids to do with you! I did a little terrarium last year and had months pleasure from having a touch of green in the house during the bad weather.
ReplyDeleteKids love gardening projects and watching stuff "grow". Fun fun fun! Hope you have a great week.
