Gothic Midnight Garden Design - Black Flowers, Plants and Gargoyles
Ranked #168 in Home, #6,146 overall
Gothic Garden Design
Gothic gardens are unique because each gardener focuses on a different aspect or combines several unusual accents. Sometimes the lure is in the flowers and plants - using black and dark-colored varieties, carnivorous plants, uncommon vegetables, or even using smells, sights, and sounds to attract the creatures of the night.
Unlike the mini Gothic Graveyard Terrarium kit, a full-sized Gothic garden is a little more difficult to create. There are very few dark plant varieties available, so you need a little extra imagination to create your dark Garden sanctuary.

- I have some black lilies, dark ivy, hellebores digitalis and castor oil plant, (I think they are all poisonous) with some old chimney pots, an old milk can, a blue fairy (which is the header on my website), a small brass horse and carriage and a small knight in armour. Do I qualify?
I loved your plants and am lensrolling, starring and favoriting.
