Mossy Earth

“Our work focuses on restoring natural processes, supporting keystone species, and helping neglected species or ecosystems.”

Charles Dowding

“My mission is to share evidence-based understandings that help gardeners to: grow more, from fewer resources, in less time.The core method I have developed is no dig. It enables us to grow more food from less inputs.”

Tanner Serpa

“Being immersed in nature is known to improve mental well-being. The same is true when you bring nature indoors. At SerpaDesign, I believe that nature design (house plants, terrariums, aquariums, etc.) produces a better quality of life. My goal is to excite you about this art-form through education and entertainment.”
