What comes to mind when you think of a moon garden? Well, gardens are obviously made to be enjoyed during the day, right? The moon garden, on the other hand, is meant to be enjoyed in the evening.

A typical moon garden design will have paths that wind through the garden so people can walk along them. Special lighting is often used, such as solar lighting. Solar lighting gives off a warm glow that isn’t as bright as normal household lighting and it creates just the right ambiance that people are looking for when designing their moon gardens.

Of course, flowers that bloom at night are popular in a moon garden design. Designed correctly, a moon garden will quickly become the talk of the neighborhood and one shouldn’t be surprised if their moon garden design brings a crowd every night when the sun goes down.

Moon Flowers

What flower do you think is perfect for a moon garden design? The Moon Flower begins with spiraled buds during the day. At night, the six inch wide white flowers open, revealing a wonderful fragrance. Ask your local garden center if they carry the Moon Flower to be included in your moon garden design. If they don’t carry it, they may know where you can get your hands on some. No moon garden should go without this wonderful nighttime flower known as the Moon Flower.

Flowers With Fragrance

Some flowers, such as the Sweet Autumn Clematis, the Blooming Jasmine as well as the Flowering Tobacco, give off a nice fragrance at night. In addition to the flowers that only bloom at night, there are other flowers that people love to include in their moon garden designs because of the nighttime fragrance they give off.

A good moon garden design will incorporate flowers that have a silver tint to them so they reflect the moonlight and provide a glow. Running water is also nice in this kind of garden. I myself don’t like it to be too quiet at night. Sound effects from bubbling water makes the night time even more relaxing.
