Talk of the Sourlands: An Enchanting Night Garden for the Living World
About this Event
An Enchanting Evening Garden for the Living World
Enchantment can grow as we understand night in the garden or really any outdoor space, however big or small. All life responds to the ancient signal of daylight becoming moon- and starlight. For humans, the resulting shift in our perceptions can be magical and even lull us to sleep. The same signal alerts myriad other creatures that it is time to rouse. This presentation invites you to think about the use of color, scent, sound and touch in your garden space to enrich your experience of the evening and support the often-unrecognized work of plants, microbes, insects and animals that ready the world for morning.
