It is not only beautiful, but also practical.

How to create a garden under the moonlight
The key to Moon Garden is light or its reflection. That is why white flowers dominate under the moonlight, and silvery or light green leaves that can capture a gentle reflection. For example, lilies, monthly, angelic trumpets and callors are suitable. In addition to this, plants with a distinctive aroma, such as jasmine, winged or night violet, attract night pollinators while enriching the magical atmosphere.

But Moon Garden is not just about a visual experience. On the contrary, it involves all the senses. The smell of flowers that open in the evening and release the perfume into the colder night air is more intense than the day. In addition, the garden can be complemented by fine sounds: a quiet fountain, the murmur of ornamental grass in the wind or the silent buzzing of night butterflies. With the help of fine lighting, such as solar ice or lantern, the garden turns into a magical place.
Fortunately, you don’t need hectares for Moon Garden. Even a small corner on the terrace, a flower bed under the window or pots around the bench, can create an impressive evening corners. It is important to choose a place where moonlight falls, ie outside the shadow of trees or walls. And if you are planning a garden at sitting, think about comfort: benches, armchairs, soft lighting and quiet environment will complete the overall impression.
Magic that begins at dusk
The monthly garden has one big advantage. It is ideal for times when the daily heat is gone. After work, after dinner, at dusk, her time is coming. White flowers appear from the gloom as ghosts, the leaves glitter and the smell becomes more intense. It is no coincidence that Moon Garden is a popular place for evening celebrations, silent meditation or inspiration.
Try to bet on a classic such as a monthly flower, night violet, fragrant evening, sludge, white clematis or guests. Kaládia or astilba is suitable for the shadow, white astra, floxy or ornamental sage. Significant sheets of silver sage, wool cleaning or artichoke will give the right charm.
So Moon Garden is a garden of another kind: slow, receptive, quiet. It brings peace of mind all day, space for observing stars and perception of nature from a different angle. Maybe they will not amaze colors during the day, but at night it shines with its own beauty. And even if it is inconspicuous, it remains in memory as something special. Like a secret corner of the world that belongs only to you and the months.
