IT’S A MARVELOUS NIGHT

FOR A MOONDANCE

For three decades, in an event that originated in Paris and now spans 30 countries, exclusive Dîner en Blanc gatherings
have been occurring around the world. Attendees dress head-to-toe in white to share a meal and good company outdoors.
What a charming concept for a backyard dinner party, and where better to host than in a moon garden!

Here, a small gathering of friends and neighbors share a toast to camaraderie in an enchanting moon garden. Fragrant
Snow Princess sweet alyssum fills the evening air with its distinctive perfume while shimmering Silver Falls dichondra

™
and a plethora of white blossoms reflect the soft moonlight. (Find the complete plant list on p. 27.)
Note: Please check ASPCA.org for a list of toxic and non-toxic plants if you are concerned about having pets in your garden.
Go further by mixing up a fresh batch of strawberry-basil bourbon coolers using ingredients harvested fresh from your
garden. Fill a vase or two with silver and white plants for the table. And don’t forget to turn up the tunes…
for it’s a marvelous night for a moondance!
