Enjoy the Cool Part of the Day
in your garden
The moon is out at night, and you should be too. The summer heat is lessened and a moon garden can be an enchanting place to relax.
A moon garden has many names. Some call it a twilight garden, an evening garden, a night garden, a moonlight garden, or even a dream garden. The general idea is that it is a type of garden designed to be enjoyed at dusk and nighttime. Flowers that open at night, fragrant flowers, and light-colored vegetation are key components. In the Southwest, we can add plants that attract night pollinators, adding sound of fluttering wings to the mix.
When I moved to Substack for my newsletter, the subscribers that moved with me voted for newsletters every two weeks. I’m now getting requests for once a week news. Consider it done from here on out!

It should not gall you to read this post….

One of my horticulture dreams, is to create a moon garden! Thanks for the reminder to keep it on the bucket list.
I have a Moon Garden, growing silver and white-blossomed beauties only. It's in the shape of a second quarter Moon, and is graced with various Moon-themed Garden treasures. Our deck overlooks the Garden, and on moonlit nights, we sit outside and take in its magical sweetness and beauty.
