Magical Moss

At 450 million years old, mosses are one of the oldest living things on the planet. They are hugely ecologically important and hold cultural significance around the world.

Here is a selection of books to help you learn about, identify and appreciate these amazing plants.

How Planty is "Fen, Bog & Swamp"?

It sounds very planty and very yoinky to me.

It's definitely yoinky imo, even if it's not mega planty hehe

It's been a while since I read it so I can't remember for sure, but I'd say it's more ecological than planty.

Can I just say, I absolutely adore the colour scheme of this list! The shades of green are very appealing to the eye and feel quite soothing (just like laying in some moss!) thank you for this list 🤗
