A walk in Derbyshire has inspired this scape. From the meadow of Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba' and swampy areas of Eleocharis, Staurogyne and Lilaeopsis marks the forest edge. Redwood covered in mosses, ferns and Anubias gives age to the forest, while young undergrowth of Hemianthus micranthemoides struggle for light underneath.

Tip! Moss tied to wood really gives age. Just remember, that most mosses will need to be re-tied now and then.
