I’m planning a moon garden!🌝

I haven’t had much of a garden the past few years with everything going on, but I’m looking forward to making my way back outside this spring. Since we have limited yard place (and a hundred million deer), I’m planning on doing a raised bed. I’m also hoping it’ll be an easy way to get our guys involved.

Moon gardens can be planted based on the phases or they can just be spaces to enjoy at night. I’m going for the latter. I’m also excited to have greens to bring back inside for ritual.

Here’s what I have growing right now (fingers crossed):

— Night-scented Tobacco - evening bloomers, smell amazing
— Four O’Clocks - evening bloomers (good for butterflies, bees)
— Evening Primrose - evening bloomers (they’ve always reminded me of District 12 in the The Hunger Games, which is 100% located in Western Pennsylvania, fight me)
— Moonflowers - obvious association, bright blossoms, evening bloomers

I also wanted to add some aromatic herbs, so I started two of my favorites, rosemary and lemon balm.
