Keiki,
I don't have any pics but you might want to post on the moon garden forum.

Rhonda

Thanks Rhonda I might try that. I was really hoping to see one with plants that do well here.

I've always wanted to make one, never got around to it though so I have no pictures. But there are so many plants I can think of that would work. Of course you want things with white blooms, but silver foliage plants would work, too. For structural shrubs, Gardenias and Jasmine for fragrance, also maybe Texas sage and buttonwood for the silver foliage. Then there are so many perennials and annuals with white blooms or silver foliage. Especially fragrant ones like white nicotiana and even white four-o'-clocks. And of course, (at least in my mind), you need to have a white focus ornament such as a bird bath, fountain, statue, cement bench, etc. to make it really shine. And even some white stone paths?? OK, now I really want one even more after thinking about it!

Hi Keiki

I love the white gardens that I saw the last time at the Botanical Gardens in Pa, it was indoors with similar plants that grow here, a lot of it were rock gardens like I had in Arizona, I had sages, artemisia and oenethera white flowers that were very bright and good smelling at night around the swimming pool. Don't have any pictures from that garden but I have the ones from the Botanical, here they are....

One of my neighbors has more of a foliage centered moon garden. He likes the white river gravel and has plants with interesting leaf shapes the edge the path. The plants more in the middle have white patterns on green leaves.

Up until about 5 years ago, I've always had a back yard "white garden".
I came across Tabernaemontanas when I moved down here. They are the "want-a-be" jasmines. Crepe jasime, pinwheel jasmine, regulars and the drawf, and the double dwarfs (thanks David McLean).
Then add in the white brugmansia(angel trumpets),Cypress Gardens, shredded white and the last one I planted was Super Nova - super big!!
Throw in a couple of LaFrance white hibiscus.
In the summer I'd plant white pentas, periwinkle
Winter - the white inpatiens, petunias
And for vines - white mandivillias, thunbergias.
Then you start planting anything that has white in it.
Varigated spider plants, transcantia, and liriope for edgeing.
And than don't forget the hardscape.
I Still have all 1200 (12"x12") white stepping stones.
A white 7' wide x 16' long x 8' tall trellis that still has my ever-blooming poet's jasmine on it.
And the back yard is still outline in white rope lights to light up the back yard when we need it.
Why did I do it?
I would come home at night and the back yard would be pitch black.
Only a few "white" flowers showing. It became my quest for 35 years.
I still have a lot of white throughout the garden,
but the marroon jacaranda tree, bouganvillea tree, Hong Kong Orchid tree,
potato tree followed me home. You know the rest..........Cheryl

This is a work project that I am not at all excited about. I came here knowing you guys would inspire me. Thanks

Rita you sound more excited than I am, you should go ahead and install one in your garden! I never thought of a silver buttonwood as they are so overused out there but it is be a good idea.

Silvia thank you for the pictures and oenethera recommendation. I am going to look for that.

Gardengal and Yacheryl I didn't even think of a pathway that is a great way to bring more white in. I have some white scallop shaped stepping stones I can use.

Yacheryl I was thinking of using many of the plants you suggested but thank you so much for reminding me of white impatients. Duh

I have a white trellis and a large white cement pot for hardscape. For plants so far I am thinking gardenia, pinewheel jasmine, white pentas, variegated lirope, white diplendia, and thanks to the recommendations white impatients, silver buttonwood and oenethera.

I am still looking for piictures if anyone has any. Searching online all I found was northern gardens.

Super Nova brugmansia sure does brighten up the moon garden and the hawk moths flock to it.

Uplighting is a good way to show off a night garden. Just place small solar lights that shine upwards into the plants to add a soft glow on white and light colored flowers.

Night blooming cereus cactus works well. Any night blooming jasmines. I also have a light pink jasmine that really cranks out the fragrance once it gets dark.

Indian Night Jasmine aka Nyctanthes Arbortristis blooms at night and the flowers fall once daylight hits them (unless its really cloudy)

Jasminum polyanthum aka pink jasmine

good old standby Cestrum Nocturnum

When I signed up for the Grow-zine newsletter there was a free download for White Gardening in S Fla. I can't find the download but here is the link. Everything is for south Fla area. Might be something useful in it.

We have a White Gieger tree that blooms white flowers all year, white crepe myrtles are very showy in the summer.

Here is a link that might be useful: Grow-zine

Sultry LOVE the hummingbird moth in your picture! I am putting a super nova in the garden.

TCGardener I can't use anything like crepe myrtles as the garden has to look full and lush when the snowbirds are here. This is a work project. Thanks for the link.

Plants are ordered. I am using a super nova brug, white candles, AE odorata, dusty miller, white impatiens, white diplendia, and in the large cement pot a gardenia bush. I am using the white trellis as a back drop and at this time I am not going to cover it with a vine. I plan on replacing the white impatiens with white pentas in the summer. I decided to limit the number of different plants to give a more uniform look. I will post pictures when done (if I can)
