How to Plant a Moon Garden
The first step in learning how to plant a moon garden is to choose a site that’s easy to access. It could be the space in front of your home or maybe a small flowerbed in front of your bedroom window. It’s also important to consider the moonlight. What part of your home does it shine? Next is artificial lighting. This will be your alternative to the moonlight whenever the moon is on the wane. Choose soft lighting like tiny white string lights. You could also add a fountain or birdbath to reflect the light and make your moon garden sparkle.
For the moon garden design, you could plant any trees, perennials, and annuals of your choice. You could create a rock garden made of white rocks to illuminate the darkness.
