The name of July’s Full Buck Moon comes from the Native Americans who honor this time of year when deer begin to grow their antlers. Just as deer typically forage between dusk and dawn, it is most desirable for the ‘human’ garden lovers to be outdoors under the summer moonlight as well. Plant Life Designs’ Moon Garden Kit offers plants that are deer resistant, easy to grow in the sun and lovely to enjoy under the moon!

Celebrate the full moon this month by adding a moon garden to your landscape!
Plant Life Designs’ Moon Garden Kit will offer a mosaic of white blossoms, fragrant leaves of sage and cat mint, fern-like foliage of yarrow and the soft texture of lamb’s ear. A beautiful, crescent shaped garden bed with blue trap rock provides the perfect setting for white blooming and silver leaved plants. The assorted perennials in this plan are hardy to our zone and deer resistant!
Light your lantern and live among your plants under the midsummer moon!
