Matsalu reed has been an important part of Estonian coastal culture for centuries. It was traditionally used for thatched roofs, fences, and everyday household items, while reed harvesting was an important winter activity for local communities. Today is the perfect time to use reed in modern garden design. Reed works exceptionally well as mulch for growing plants, helping to keep the soil moist and protecting plants from the burning sun. In addition, natural reed gives every garden a beautiful and timeless Nordic look.
