Serenity Moss Garden in Hendersonville will be open again for viewing, exclusively on Saturday, May 31st. Serenity Moss Garden has taken over 12 years and 350,000 floral pins to develop. The moss covers a mountain hillside area, approximately 10,000 square feet, surrounded by forest on Long John Mountain, and it’s stunning! More than seventy-five varieties of mostly ephemeral flowers bloom throughout the moss during the springtime. FREE TO SEE!
The moss garden is viewed from a 100 foot long wood-chip trail walk-around. Please plan on wearing secure shoes (not flip flops) as there are a couple of short inclines. 
Small children must hold their parents hands at all times.
No pets, please.
This is on the private property of Tom and Charlotte Brass. They are at the very end of Park Lane. Please park in the cul-de-sac and walk up the driveway.
