Among theme gardens, the white garden may be the most popular. When white flowers are combined with silvery or blue toned foliage, the overall effect can be said to create a moon garden for evening enjoyment as well. One of the most famous white gardens is at Sissinghurst, but a successful white garden can be planted anywhere using easy to grow annuals and perennials along with roses, vines, trees and shrubs. Subsequent articles will discuss some of the many plants you could use in designing a white garden or a moon garden. To design and plant a white garden or moon garden, begin by following these simple principles.

Enclosure

A sense of enclosure heightens the special quality of a white garden, especially if it is to be enjoyed in the evening as a moon garden. Enclose your white garden with a fence or hedge, or place it in a secluded corner of the landscape. A white picket fence can work particularly well if it is placed beside plants with dark foliage.

Dark Background

A dark background sets off the bright white flower color and silvery or blue foliage as well as white variegated foliage, so outline the beds or planting area with a darker foil. Use dark hedges such as yew or boxwood or privet, or set your white garden against a dark colored or brick wall to highlight the bright whites. If that's not possible, a plain background of green lawn will help show off your white garden.
