Event

Growing A Moon Garden with Native Plants (Online)

  • This event has passed.

Learn how to create a garden that comes alive at night with white flowers, silvery foliage, and night-blooming plants. Moon gardens can be designed for visual appeal or to attract nocturnal wildlife such as moths and bats. This talk covers which native plants work best for a moon garden, how to layer plants for continuous bloom, and tips for planning a garden that is both beautiful and wildlife friendly. Participants receive a handout with a Moon Garden Native Plant List to help plan their own nighttime landscape. Take part in our flexible online learning offerings. Join live to participate in our online learning community or watch after as your schedule allows. All registrants will receive a recording of the class with access to view the class for 30 days after the live session.

This program takes place online Wednesday, June 24, 2026.
