(prHWY.com) December 17, 2011 - ----------------, United Kingdom -- For a rather simple yet highly effective addition to your garden, creating a moonlit haven is surprisingly easy.
A moonlit garden can be achieved with or without natural moonlight and some plants chosen for their light colour and ability to reflect moonlight.
Although this maybe the garden trend of the moment, it's not an entirely new concept.
Hundreds of years ago moonlit gardens were common in China, often used for meditation, they featured white sand and usually a pond.
In 1639 a moonlight garden was created for Shah Jahan in India. They have also been in and out of popularity in the US from the 19th century.
The outdoor lighting style has once again become popular in small simple gardens as well as elaborate grounds.
When creating a moonlit garden, it is essential to use white, silver, cream and grey plants. These colours reflect the most light and will glow in the moonlight.
However as natural moonlight cannot always be predicted, creating your own 'moon-lighting' and be simple and create a natural effect every single night with garden lighting.
You can create an ambient glow using outdoor lighting and not have to worry about moonlight, tucking garden lighting among the foliage, creating shadows and adding to the ambience.
