Create Your Own Magical Moon Garden With Flowers That Bloom at Night. (TMU) — If you love soaking up the light of the moon, planting a moon garden will enhance the experience with plants that blossom at night.
With each moonlit night, the subtle fragrance of the blossoms will fill the air while they glow in the moonlight. There are quite a few plants with flowers that open at night, and when mixed with silver leafed day bloomers they’ll present a spectacular sight in the moonlight. Your Moon Garden should be planted in an area that gets good exposure to the moon’s light, essential for lighting up the beauty of your chosen plants. During the periods when the moon is not full, you can use solar lanterns or LED candles to light up your moon garden. Tuin, Dekorativt Gräs och Trädgårdar. ~white veronica.
The White Garden at Sissinghurst, a photo from Kent, England. Sissinghurst is the site of a stone manor house built in Elizabethan times.
It was replaced by a splendid mansion built by the Baker family. Sir John Baker was Chancellor of the Exchequer who lost much of his large fortune during the Civil War when he backed the wrong side. The building subsequently deteriorated and was even used as a prison camp for French prisoners of war. Eventually two thirds of it was demolished. In April 1930 Vita Sackville-West came to view the 'castle' with her son and immediately fell in love with Sissinghurst, buying it with 400 acres of the surrounding farmland.

Like feathers, a plume of soft sage fans out from petite plum-colored stems on Athyrium niponicum 'Pictum', often referred to as Japanese Painted Fern, Japanese Red Fern or Red Painted Fern. Unlike any other fern, people say she has pewter, metallic hues, making her one of the showiest ferns available for shade or part shade gardens. Emerging in purple fronds, Japanese Fern's colorful foliage is vibrant from early spring until frost when it goes dormant for the winter.

The greenspace that exists fully formed in my thoughts is meant to be enjoyed actively…it’s the domain of walkers and sniffers and pollinators and diggers. Take a slice out of your nearest arboretum or botanical garden, and you get the idea. But there are other gardens out there meant to be savored in different ways. My college, for instance, had a small garden created specifically for the blind to enjoy. I’d close my eyes and walk through it, smelling the various fragrances that wafted my way and feeling the leaves and flowers of plants chosen for their tactile pleasantness. K.
