Covering basic planting and design principles that make the most of
outdoor surroundings, this guide helps gardeners establish a unique
nocturnal garden. Including chapters on night-scented and
night-blooming plants, gentle mood lighting, water features,
enclosures, and the use of color and sound to attract wildlife,
this is the perfect starting place for gardeners attracted to the
ethereal nature of a moonlit landscape, whether they are working
with a backyard terrace or a large plot of land. Case studies of
formal gardens and detailed horticultural descriptions of
night-friendly plant species and varieties--divided into Star
Plants, Supporting Cast, and Backstage Beauties--round out the
tools needed to transform a private space into a moonlit paradise.
Given that the sun only shines half the day, shouldn't there be a
guide for what happens, or could happen, in your garden after
sunset? There are many reasons to consider a twilight garden. You
may live in a warm climate where evenings are more comfortable than
midday. You may work long hours, or enjoy eating dinner and
entertaining outdoors. Or perhaps you're attracted to the ethereal
nature of a moonlit landscape. Whatever the reason, you need a
guide to make the most of your outdoor surroundings. "The Twilight
Garden" covers basic planting and design principles needed to
establish a unique nocturnal garden. It includes chapters on
night-scented and night-blooming plants, gentle mood lighting,
water features, enclosures, and the use of color and sound to
attract wildlife. Gardening expert Lia Leendertz shows that it is
possible to create a nighttime paradise whether you have a small
backyard terrace or a large plot of land. She includes case studies
of formal gardens and detailed horticultural descriptions of
night-friendly plant species and varieties, divided into Star
Plants, Supporting Cast, and Backstage Beauties. Following her
lead, you'll be able to transform your own private space into a
moonlit paradise.
