\"Bat<\/a>

Bat Flower by Ray Schofield<\/p><\/div>\n

In reality, our limited garden space is reserved for edibles. I have neither the skill nor the time to plant a proper spooky garden, but I can dream.<\/p>\n

\"White<\/a>

White Wisteria<\/p><\/div>\n

My ideal dark garden is one that is dark by day, but transforms into a moon garden at night. Daytime colors would be classic goth: black, purple, red. At night, white and silver.<\/p>\n

\"Calycanthaceae\"<\/a>

Calycanthaceae<\/p><\/div>\n

The Everyday Goth is also a garden dreamer, and has a nice guide for building a gothic garden<\/a>. I like it because she works in proper gardening layers.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/a>

Black Bamboo<\/p><\/div>\n

The classic site for dark gardening, Gothic Gardening, has been partially preserved on Archive.org<\/a>. The themes, along with pictures, have been preserved at Aokley.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Night-Blooming<\/a>

Night-Blooming Jasmine by Eran Finkle<\/p><\/div>\n

Night-blooming Jasmine has an incredible fragrance. A vine covered the front porch of our house in Portland. It was a joy to walk through in the evening.<\/p>\n

\"Silver<\/a>

Silver Sage<\/p><\/div>\n

Silver Sage has a shimmery look, and soft leaves. iVillage has some other good moon garden suggestions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Persian<\/a>

Persian Shield by Ines Hegedus-Garcia<\/p><\/div>\n

White Flower Farm<\/a> not only specializes in white flowers, they have a section dedicated to moon garden plants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Phlox<\/a>

Phlox Paniculata by Shihmei Barger<\/p><\/div>\n

I know it’s not very gothy, but I’d have to sneak a fairy door into my garden somewhere.<\/p>\n

\"Fairy<\/a>

Fairy Door by Annabel Vita<\/p><\/div>\n

And a dragon. Definitely a dragon.<\/p>\n
