Moss Garden

In this hushed garden room, with its dense living carpet, wiry huckleberries spring from decaying stumps and huge skunk cabbages crowd the dampest places under a canopy of lacy angelica trees, creating a mysterious  landscape.


“…there is grandeur in decay: the rotten log hosting seedlings of hemlocks, cedars, huckleberries, the shape of a crumbling snag.”

Prentice Bloedel
