As you round the corner the moonlight shines upon a beautiful and quiet garden with walls and trellises covered in night-blooming giant moonflowers and allamanda vines. They have a delicate, heavenly scent that's at its best at night.

If you wait until morning to sniff, most of the scent will be gone.

The entire garden is filled with tender night bloomers that begin to unfold at dusk, as the light is chased away by the shadows of the night, and come into the perfect beauty of full-bloom only at midnight. The combined exquisite fragrance, which attracts bats and other night roaming creatures, also lends a mellow, peaceful mood to the garden around you.

In the center of the Moon Garden is a marble gazing pond with bright gold fish and the night blooming water lily, that has large flowers in shades from white to red. The pond is surrounded by white varieties of iris and lilies that catch the glow from the moon, along with white tulips, mayweed and Japanese silver grass.

There is also an ornate stone bench facing a bed of beautiful black roses and the small white stars of jasmine. The roses have the most unforgettable deep rich scent, sweet and spicy at the same time. Amongst the roses stands a pedestal carved from the finest alabaster. Its pure white color seems to glow in the moonlight. On top sits an urn with an inscription that reads:

"Dawn: You are truly missed. R.I.P 1976-2005"
