Summary: Vincent Van Gogh once stated, “I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.” With its shadows, moonlight, and glistening stars, the night holds secrets and stories that the sun can not attempt to expose. Bathing in full moonlight, some may feel themselves cleansed, empowered, or blessed. The moon has led many a man to become humble by its presence. It is a natural source of contemplation. Who doesn't stare at a full moon with some sort of reverence? Much like the natural beauty of flowers and trees, we can meditate on the moon's beauty. And, if one does love the natural beauty of this existing world, why not combine nature's flowers and plants with the light of this celestial body?

In this free video series, our expert gardener does just this. Yolanda Vanveen gives you advice on how to make a moon garden.
