Seeds for Planting a Moon Garden
Anyone who has the chance to view their flower garden at night should consider planting a small "Moon Garden" patch that can be enjoyed during the late evening and early night hours. Some flowers only flower at late evening and night and others, particularly several white varieties seem to actually glow under a moonlight. We recommend the following:
