As the sun sets, most of us abandon our gardens and return indoors until it rises again to light the brightly colored plants we have so carefully selected for our gardens. And as we sleep, a new world awakens beneath the moon, a world that few of us take the opportunity to enjoy. This nocturnal world is not the cold, dark place you might imagine; rather, it is a place of sweet scents, soothing sounds, and soft shadows. Hawkmoths flutter, quietly buzzing among the sweetly fragrant flowering tobacco as the moonbeams reflect both their silvery wings and the creamy white tubular blossoms. It is this peaceful world of oft-forgotten beauty that you will encounter in The Moonlit Garden. As gardening experts Scott Ogden walks you through this nocturnal kingdom, he brings through this nocturnal kingdom, he brings it to life with his loving prose and offers advice on creating your own garden under the stars. Gardeners from the deserts to the mountains and the woodlands to the prairies will find ideas for developing the garden at night. Here are just a few of the topics addressed in this book: *creating a garden that is as lovely in the cold of winter as in the warmth of summer; *enjoying the life of the nocturnal garden, including moths, tree frogs, and bats; *developing mixed plantings of scented flowers for light-reflecting foliage; *illuminating the garden naturally with pale stones; *bringing the exotic fragrances of tropical plants to the night garden. With the help of more than sixty-five color photographs, Mr. Ogden brings to life the possibilities of moonlit gardens. Whether you want to create a water garden that shimmers beneath the night sky or design a moonlit border with character, color, and depth, you will find inspiration and practical wisdom in these elegant writings..
