Why read it?

1 author picked The Moonlit Garden as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Don’t be fooled by the small size of this very personal book by the incredible plantsmith Scott Ogden.

You would do well to find this book, now sadly out of print, as it focuses on the attributes of plants that are often overlooked. I’ve had it on my shelf for years and enjoy it constantly. Enjoying the garden at night is often an overlooked aspect of garden design.

Scott’s prose in this book is some of the finest garden writing ever written. Track down this book, you won’t be disappointed. Then walk outside and look at your garden at night…
