In Japan, moss is revered for its sublime colours and textures, inspiring gardeners and non-gardeners alike.

Moss can be found everywhere in your garden, in crevices between stones, in cracks in the city concrete. In the tiny world of terrariums, container gardens, dish gardens, and kokedama (moss ball gardens), moss is a magic carpet that turns a diminutive plot of soil into a self-contained living world.

Miniature Moss Gardens offers expert advice and techniques from the birthplace of miniature gardening. One of the only books in print to focus on moss and miniature gardens, it is friendly enough for total beginners and full of ideas and tips for experienced gardeners.

“First, the photos are amazing… And, not surprisingly for a Tuttle imprint, it is informative…Written by Megumi Oshima and Hideshi Kimura, published by Tuttle, I’m giving it a ‘Highly Recommended’ for your bonsai bookshelf…Hardbound, good to the touch, well thought out, professionally photographed…..go get yourself a copy today.” Adam’s Art and Bonsai Blog (AdamAskWhy.com)

“…this book is a must-have for my library and yours if you love gardening and plants. This book shares lots of interesting facts about moss and instructions on care and maintenance, making a kokedama (i didn't know what that was - !!!!), moss bonsais, moss tray landscapes and terrariums. I am going to devour this book this summer and see if I can come up with some creations for my home. Lots of beautiful photos can be found throughout this book too. Another great read.” Kim Johnson, Desire to Inspire

Megumi Oshima

Megumi Oshima was born in Saitama prefecture. Raised among abundant nature in the countryside near the Tonegawa river, Oshima became familiar with plants. While working for a production company, she started to grow bonsai and kokedama on the balcony of her Tokyo apartment.

Oshima left her production company job and began working in garden management for flower markets and hotels. In 2006 she opened garden store Midoriya Nicogusa in Kichijoji, Tokyo, and began running workshops on bonsai and kokedama. Oshima is a plant consultant and interior coordinator.
