When the moon rises, your garden reappears in a beautifully distinctive glow. Bees and butterflies have gone to sleep, but striking moths and mysterious bats come out to pollinate fragrant night-blooming plants. Fireflies sparkle, the soft light of evening appears, and the world is reduced to the gathering of friends around the candlelit table.
Whether to add depth and drama to your evening garden or to improve personal safety, outdoor lights allow you to add hours of enjoyment to your life in the garden, particularly when used to silhouette statuary and interesting trees or shrubs. Let a designer help you select the appropriate fixtures and their placement in the planning stage of your garden. Lighting is a crucial garden design feature that should not be overlooked.
A Thought & A Half
Scents, sights, and sounds are different in the evening garden than they are during the day. Enhance the enchanting nature of nighttime in your garden by planting intensely fragrant flowers like Korean spice viburnum, roses, and lavender. When you add plants with grey or white striped foliage, the effect can be very romantic.
