Gardening has been considered an aesthetic expression of beauty through art and nature. Gardens display taste or style of contemporary life and can be a window into the past and a prelude to the future.

Join Moon Valley Nurseries as we tour some of the world’s most beautiful gardens for the next few weeks and return home with some tips and ideas for your beautiful garden!

Dutch Baroque Gardens at Het Loo Palace

The ‘Great Garden’ lies privately behind the Het Loo Palace in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. The garden was designed by Claude Desgotz the protégé of Le Notre most famously noted for the gardens of Versailles. The Het Loo garden maintains the perfect symmetry, axial layout with radiating gravel walks, parterres with fountains, basins and statues that are a signature of Baroque style.

How you can duplicate the look in your garden:

Symmetrical gardens are usually considered formal gardens. This type of garden features symmetrical plantings placed uniformly throughout the garden. Formal planting patterns usually include an evergreen shrub or particularly stunning plant or tree placed as a focal point in the garden. You then build outward from this point, aligning plants equally on both sides. Moon Valley Nurseries have everything you need to duplicate a formal, symmetrical garden.

Crathes Castle Garden , Scotland

The garden of Crathes Castle is known for its clever use of color. It sits in front of a typically Scottish turreted and rough-hewn pink-granite castle dating from 1596. Its monstrous yew hedges were planted in 1702. A laurel acts as a central pivot where crossed by another path flanked by shrub and herbaceous borders. Borders around the garden are full of hot colors: lupins, irises and pyrethrums, provide frames for the outline of the castle.

How you can achieve the look

in your garden:

Concentrate on color! A Moon Valley Nursery designer will help you choose a natural border that will include shrubs that will burst with color throughout the year. Fall is a great time to pack your garden with fall flowers that will frame your castle with stunning color.

Gardens of Villandry

The unique "Renaissance" gardens of Villandry are among the most fascinating gardens of France and is best known as France's archetypal potager, a (kitchen garden). It has seemingly endless geometric patterns. The lowest tier is devoted to vegetable gardens and has 9 square sections divided into beds of various colored plants, surrounded by box hedges and hardy plants. The property as a whole gives the impression of a grandiose conception, full of harmony and majesty.

How you can duplicate the look:

Moon Valley Nurseries shows you how to plant a tree 

September begins one of the most exciting planting seasons. The most value for your money this time of year is a tree from Moon Valley Nurseries. 
Moon Valley Nurseries shows you how to plant a tree and gives you some valuable tips as we enter this years planting season. 


Materials Needed
• A good quality tree (from Moon Valley Nursery)
• Shovel
• Moon Dust
• Watering Hose

The most important step is to begin with selecting a healthy tree. Moon Valley Nursery has the best quality of trees in the Southwest!

Choose a suitable tree for the region, climate, and space.


All of the trees at Moon Valley Nursery sells are suitable for the climate here in the Southwest.
Consider how quickly and how large the tree will grow and how much cleanup it will require.
Understand the growth habits of the tree you will plant, and the shape that your tree will have when it is mature.
Any questions about the region, climate and space can be answered by any of our Moon Valley Nursery staff.

Decide where you want the tree. 


Remember that trees will grow large, so in addition to arranging it according to how you want the area to look, think ahead and ask yourself:


• What will the tree shade, and what it might touch or cover when it is fully grown?
• Will it be too close to any sidewalks, houses, or power lines?
• Does your planting location tend to flood or puddle heavily when it is wet? 
Choose a site with good drainage. Planting holes can form natural ponds in non-percolating conditions, and many trees will drown if their roots are completely submerged.


Remember, after your tree is planted add fertilizer. All plants need fertilizer to thrive, but too much and you will burn the leaves or kill the plant. Moon Valley Nursery has the perfect blend that will help your newly planted tree to thrive, Moon Dust for trees and shrubs. For an easy step by step tutorial watch 'Moon Valley Nurseries show you how to fertilize your tree or shrub'.


A newly planted tree needs stakes to support it while it develops a strong root system. For further instructions on how to properly stake a tree watch 'Moon Valley Nurseries shows you how to stake a tree'.
