The Forgotten Pollinators: How Moths Work at Night 🦋🌙
"You think of bees, but who pollinates after dark?"

🌙 Bees get all the credit, but moths are secret nighttime pollinators!

🔎 What makes moths special?

🌸 They pollinate night-blooming flowers like jasmine & evening primrose.
🌕 They fly when bees rest, keeping pollination going 24/7.
🦋 Some species travel hundreds of miles, spreading pollen.
⚠️ Why they’re in danger:

🚦 Streetlights disrupt their navigation.
🌾 Pesticides kill them before they can pollinate.
🌸 Fewer nectar sources in cities = less food.
🌿 How to help moths thrive:
✔️ Plant native night-blooming flowers.
✔️ Use warm-colored outdoor lights (less disruptive).
✔️ Avoid pesticides—healthy gardens = healthy moths!

🦋 Moths may not be as cute as bees, but they’re just as important!

Dead wood is good wood!

If you have a tree that's unsafe in your yard, consider having the tree company leaving the trunk in place and just cutting it to a height that is safe. The remaining trunk will serve as habitat. (Consider planting Virginia creeper to climb up it to provide fruit for birds, serve as a host plant for hawk moths, and provide great fall color.)

Our Story

We design gorgeous weddings, using our own locally grown flowers. Beautiful, full wedding designs using unique organic flowers. Wildflower look, rustic, natural mountain weddings can be yours for a fraction of the cost. DIY brides may buy flowers direct in bulk (bucketfuls).

We manage over 100 acres as conservation lands; developing and maintaining wildlife habitat. We plan to leave the farm more natural than how we found it. We are committed to cultivating the flowers and foliage we use. Foraging only invasive plants. We do not believe in wild collecting or crafting in this era of human history.

We work long hours to to deliver perfectly fresh unique mountain flowers. Susan and Brent are directly involved in every design and flower cut from Shady Grove Gardens.

On the other hand, if you want roses for your wedding, we will get you roses. We want happy brides and we love working on small weddings that use lots of our flowers.
