BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
Heather Prince
Many of us can only enjoy our garden spaces in the evening after a busy day.
Why not create a special garden to enjoy when the sun goes down and the
moon rises? We’ll discuss garden design and delve into the many types of plants
that add color and texture to dusk and beyond.
