Examples

“The voices of the children stopped the moment he stepped out of the moon. “Oh-h-h-h!” cried all the children, “here is David again.” The beautiful lady was sitting on the soft, warm grass, holding in her lap a new little child, who had just come into the moon-garden.”

“The visual beauty of the moon garden relies in large part on the contrast of white and black. Snow reflects moonlight in much the same way that white flowers will in summertime.”

“According to landscaping experts, the key to moon gardens is the use of masses of light colors to make a visual impact. Plants should have cream or snowy white flowers, but a moon garden is not limited to white colors. It may include bright foliage which can be variegated with gold or silver color. It should include night blooming plants and fragrant blooms.”
