In this episode of Conversations with Nature, host Joyce Veheary is joined by Participatory Architect and Bryologist, Hester Buck.
We explore the quiet radicalism of moss with guest Hester speaking from the perspective of 'Pin Cushion Moss'. Hester invites us to rethink our relationship with nature—not as stewards acting from above, but as interdependent participants in an “entangled care.” As Hester put it, this isn’t about humans protecting nature out of paternalism—it’s about seeing how we already rely on each other to survive.
We dig into folk histories, surprising scientific facts, and the rich ecological role of moss—from filtering air, slowing water movement to reduce flooding, and exhibiting strong antibacterial properties. We also challenge the violent language of gardening: what if, instead of words like “scarifying” lawns or “scraping” away what we perceive as mess and we spoke of welcoming moss? Noticing it, celebrating it, letting it flourish in the cracks.
