Step 1: Deciding the Perfect Space for Your Moon Garden
Identify a cozy corner in your garden or yard that’s both reachable and offers a serene view from your favorite evening spot. This location should bask under the moon’s luminescence and preferably be shielded from strong winds. Customize the garden’s expanse to suit your space and desires.
Step 2: Picking Plants that Sing with the Moon
The heartbeat of a moon garden lies in plants that echo the moonlight’s gentle shimmer. Plants with silver or grayish undertones perfectly encapsulate this lunar allure. Here’s a glimpse of standout choices from Town & Country Nurseries:
- Moonflower (Ipomoea alba): As twilight descends, this beauty unveils its pristine white blooms.
- Night-Blooming Jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum): Under the cover of night, this plant unfurls a fragrance that’s utterly captivating.
- Dusty Miller (Centaurea cineraria): Admired for its silvery foliage, it paints a picturesque scene in any moon garden.
- Evening Primrose (Oenothera): Its blooms, radiant in whites or soft yellows, are nature’s ode to the night.

Step 3: Weaving in Ethereal Accents
Elevate the mystique of your moon garden by introducing whimsical elements. Think of soothing water features, like a reflective pond or a gentle fountain, both of which amplify the moon’s charm. Other ornamental touches, like moonlit statues or glowing garden orbs, can intensify the garden’s enchantment.
