Moon Garden Photo. A photo of an arrangement made of white flowers set atop of an old park bench and along side the icon of a moon that states the words "Moon Garden."

A moon garden glows at night. Why? Because it is made up of white flowers and silvery foliage that sparkle in the moonlight.

A few tips for a beautifully successful moon garden:

Keep the area small - some like to plant in the shape of a crescent moon.
Plant flowers with different shapes and textures.
Make it a multi-sensory experience! Consider flowers with lovely scents and leaves that are soft to the touch.

White gomphrena
Angel's trumpets
Climbing white hydrangeas

Flowers That Work Over Time

Classic dessert cups of pudding, crushed Oreos and edible flowers.

Looking to add some easy, edible flair to a meal or dessert? When planting veggies this season, add some edible flowers into the mix! Companion planting doesn't just make for a stunning veggie garden, it also promotes pollination and often deters pests.
