newspaper writer/moon gardens

Hi, all. I write about gardening for a national newspaper and am working on a story about moon gardens.

Do any of you have one?

I'm looking for ones to profile, and to talk to people who enjoy them.

Thanks,

Anne Marie.

    Anne Marie..I don't have a 'Moon Garden' but I grow plants that would do well in one.
    Don't know if types of plants is what you're seeking.

    Two of my favorites are: Moon Flower and Datura. MF is an Ipomoea. Datura is somewhat related to Brugmansia, although their hardiness zones differ. Brugs grow upright; Datura is a semi-vine.
    Moon Flower and Datura 'flowers' open as the sun sets. Even on the darkest nights, flowers seem to 'glow,' they're quite iridescent.

    Sorry I couldn't be more help...Good luck, Toni

    PS: Phlox is another plant that would do well in a Moon Garden...for color and fragrance.
