Midnight Garden

By Day

This covered patio had all the makings of a charming outdoor sitting room, but no one ever used it. Now it's become the family's favorite after-work gathering spot. The key to a garden that beckons at night can be summed up in one word: white. Plants with white flowers or white-margined leaves hold their own at dusk and beyond, long after even pastel tones have vanished into the darkness.
