In The Moon Garden

A Celebration of all aspects of the Moon Garden,with an emphasis on fragrant flowers & herbs.I will be including the whimsical along with the practical,from legends associated with the Moon,Stars,& Night,to concrete suggestions for how to create a soul satisfying night-time retreat.I promise to include nursery sources,with reviews if i've ordered from them.Bear with me if a stray poem is stuck in with the lists of fragrant night flowers;or its a bit heavy with paintings of fairies by moonlight.I am an old artist with a weakness for such things!But I am also an old organic gardener who gardened for fragrance for over 40 years.I am STILL learning-for there is an amazing variety of plants,& I have loved growing them since infancy! Climate change has thrown us a bit of a curve ball,but I believe that with care,and attention to details,we might still avert the worst.As gardeners,our responsibility to the environment is a heavy one.Our pesticides,herbicides,& even our synthetic fertilizers, can harm the land,water,& all the creatures who reside upon it-including us! It is for this reason that I garden organically.I also have been including more natives(many of which are fragrant)-in my garden,in an effort to save declining bird & butterfly populations.Moon Gardens are entirely compatible with greener gardening techniques-right down to the lovely solar garden lights available now.So,let us learn new things together,as I build this board !

Casa Blanca, intoxicating fragrance, classic lily form
Spider Lilies are fragrant Florida natives.I often see county workers mowing down lone specimens in ditches-makes me wish there was a policy of saving these rare lilies when found, prehaps relocating them to a marshy preserve? I have always regretted not digging up the one I spotted; the next time I drove by, it had been mowed mercilessly, probably this was done regularly, before the poor dear could produce seed that might help it reproduce! Little wonder that certain wildflowers are now so rare
Silene Stellata-a US native silene that is fragrant at night.Worth sowing, as so many of our wild silenes are vanishing!
