We hear it all the time, "it's my therapy". As a survivor of PTSD, I can confirm it really is. But as a night owl for going on 50 years, I guess I'll just always love my garden more at night than I do during the day. It's so peaceful. All the birds and squirrels have hit the sack. All the awesome bees have called it a day. The only thing awake in the garden is me.
We have friends and family that will come over and pull up a chair near the garden. We welcome it. If you're ever in East Tennessee, stop by the farm. We have 12 acres, but this 500 sq ft. is the place to be. But at night, it's just me and my plants, and I could sit out here all night. Peace everybody. There's not much better in life than a garden.

How do you cope with the mosquitos?
Night gardening rules!
I love this. Such a serene way to spend way to spend the last few hours before you sleep.
But also, made me think of Irving from Severance saying “a…night gardener?”
As a night owl id love to garden at night but between the mosquitos and june bugs theres just no way🤣

Totally get this! It really does feel magical when everything else quiets down and it’s just you and your plants. Had some of my most peaceful moments out there, especially after tougher days.
Oh what a beautiful place to be at night! You’ve made it looks so lovely! that would be somewhere I’d feel so peaceful spending time in after dark!
