Next time you go to scrape up that unloved moss, think again, says garden designer Zoe Claymore. It could just be the start of a rainforest. Moss, of various species, is the basis for her garden at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show created for the Wildlife Trusts. It will promote the charity’s 100-year project to preserve and expand the UK’s temperate rainforest, which at one time covered 20 per cent of the land — it now covers just 1 per cent.
園藝設計師佐伊•克萊莫爾(Zoe Claymore)建議,下次你打算清理那些無人問津的苔蘚時,不妨三思。也許這正是一片雨林的起點。在今年爲野生動物信託基金(Wildlife Trusts)設計、亮相於切爾西花展(Chelsea Flower Show)的花園中,各種苔蘚正是她設計的基礎。這個花園將宣傳該慈善機構爲期一百年的項目,旨在保護和擴展英國的溫帶雨林——這種雨林曾經覆蓋了全國20%的土地,如今卻只剩下1%。
