Start with a large, low-walled container. We used the Crescent Garden Delano planter which has a bowl-like shape that\u2019s not too deep\u2014perfect for cultivating moss. Fill the container almost full with potting soil. Take a covering of sheet moss (this should be live, not dried) and place it on top of the soil, covering the entire container. Work around the edges to create a neat planting; trim as needed. Use a water bottle to spritz the planting. To embellish for a special event, clip seasonal fresh flowers, such as lilies and Drift\u00ae Roses, and push their stems into the moss. Create different patterns, shapes, and even letters or words, as desired. After the party, remove the cut flowers and move the container to a shady spot where it can thrive. Continue to keep moist, but don\u2019t overwater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
