Moon Gardens


Moon gardens are designed to be enjoyed at night as well as during the day. During twilight and evening white flowers glow and remain visible and silver foliage reflects light. Moon gardens are also enhanced by night-flowering plants that are fragrant at night and evolved to be pollinated by moths or bats.

My Moon Garden will also be known as the Black and White garden, as you can see from this and the previous sets of photos I have gone for contrast between darkest burgundy 'black' flowers and foliage and white and silver flowers and leaves to give interest during the day and because I guess it reflects my attraction to the extremes in life generally.
