What is a moon garden?

If you have a garden then you know that one of the best times of the year is when your flowers blossom especially on those spring days when the sky is clear and the first flowers of the year appear. What if you want to stroll out to your garden at night when the moon is full, how do the plants look then?

When spring comes everyone seems to get the planting bug. If you have a big yard then you probably have a general idea where are your plants are going to go.
