General Tips and Tricks

It's not just about the flowers. There is some planning that goes behind a successful moon garden. It is important to take the following into consideration:

  • Plant in an open area that will receive as much moonlight as possible. Light from the moon not only contributes to the beauty of your garden but also helps it flourish.
  • Your garden can also benefit from other light sources. Add some string or solar lights to your landscape to highlight your favorite flowers!
  • Moon gardens are about appealing to a variety of senses. Textured plants can be pleasing to the touch and create depth with bold shadows. Scented plants like petunias, lavender, and salvia enhance the garden atmosphere with their soothing aromas. You can also add calming sounds to your garden, from water fountains to foliage that moves with the wind.
