For spring.

The Kubota Mountain Side Garden

The Kubota Mountain Side Garden

Buy Print – $5 Kubota Garden is one of Seattle’s hidden gems. It is tucked away in the far southeast corner of Seattle, so it is not a spot you will find traveling Seattle’s main thoroughfares. It is well worth the drive or bus ride to enjoy this varied garden and its winding paths though. The garden was originally the grounds of the Kubota Nursery. The gardens are filled with a variety of…

Maple paradise by Liang Li Via Flickr: Photographing Japanese maple trees with peak fall color has become an annual ceremony for me. I absolutely love how these amazing trees look. Their branches and shapes seem purely magical. More autumn photos to come!

September’s been so busy, it’s crazy. L and I spent some time in Seattle and finally got to go to the Japanese Garden and the Seattle Arboretum! It was so fun and so peaceful to stroll through the garden and spend hours just casually cruising through the arboretum and finding all of the fun little side paths.

I also know that September is “spiders, spiders everywhere” month but… omg… so many spiders. L was not prepared.

I always intend to take more pictures when I travel but I get so caught up in the moment that I forget. 🙃🥲

The Seattle condominium of designer Paula Devon Raso reveals her eclectic spirit. A small chest (ko-dansu) for documents and small items, made of paulownia wood, circa 1920, rests on a French garden bench. Appointments include 19th century Italian lanterns and mirror, an equally old French candelabra, and shopkeeper stools from China.

We’re pro-moss here*

*by here, I mean the Pacific Northwest. 

I think you can get to know a lot about a person by what internet beefs they’re involved in, which doesn’t exactly bode well for me. My internet beef is sort of strange. My beef is with the anti-moss lawn sentiment that erupted on Tumblr, seemingly developing overnight in response to the rather naïve pro-moss lawn sentiment that preceded it. It seemed that you needed to pick a side - pro-moss lawn everywhere, or pro-traditional grass lawn everywhere. I’m going to refer to these as bryophytes a lot, though, because if I were told at gunpoint to distinguish between certain nonvascular plants without a dichotomous key and scope, well, tell my mom I love her. 

This post isn’t about grass lawns, though - that’s a topic for a different day. This post is about why moss gardening in the Pacific Northwest is a wonderful thing to do. Bryophytes will blanket almost everything stationary here, especially in shady and damp area, but I’ve seen it clinging to concrete in the full sun, too. 

The Seattle Japanese Garden uses native mosses that look just incredible!

I think when I say I’m pro-moss and pro-moss gardening, this might make it seem like I’m pro-buying non-native mosses (Lord help the folks who buy Sagina subulata “Irish moss”, a Caryophyllaceae and not a bryophyte at all), cramming moss in a blender (please don’t do this - as gardening guru Cisco Morris says, this will only lead to divorce), ripping out your lawn, or trying to moss garden in an arid climate where most moss would give up the ghost in three days. Nah. Bryophytes out here will grow on your face if you stay still long enough - no need to buy it, you can simply let it take over your lawn naturally (IT WILL), transplant it and glue it down somewhere nice, or buy some native moss from a native plant nursery. 

The natural mosses at Lime Kiln Park and Lena Lake are stunning.

What both of us think is most important is to plant species that are native to your region as much as possible. Native plants are critical for the survival of native insect species and the birds that eat them - you can’t slap petunias down in Washington State and expect the wildlife to survive on them. We grew up on land that belongs to the Snoqualmie Tribe, which is very actively involved in restoring the landscape, removing invasive species, and educating the public about responsible foraging and planting.  If you’re living on someone else’s ancestral land, like we did, it is responsible to practice land acknowledgment with your gardening and recreation, not just with your words and wallet. Native plants play a tremendous role there. 

Native Polytrichum for sale at the UW Arboretum! This would be a perfect way to start moss gardening in the Seattle area. 

#...we do hate grass lawns though. That's a topic for a different day. #the member of this blog who is an honest-to-God professional botanist hates them MORE than the other casual citizen member #but the solution is the begin gardening with native plants!
