"The moon directly influences the rise and fall of water bodies on Earth-its influence being strongest at new moon and full moon. In ancient times it was discovered that different plants and crops grew better when planted according to the phases of the moon. At the new moon the lunar gravity pulls water up and moisture levels in the soil are high. Seeds present in the soil swell and burst. In the second quarter the gravitational pull is less but the moonlight is strong. This is a time for strong leaf growth. Just after the full moon the gravitational pull is still high but the moon is beginning to wane. There is more moisture in the soil but since the moonlight is decreasing, growth is now concentrated in the roots. The last quarter of the moon is considered a resting period- a good time to cultivate, harvest, transplant and prune as both levels of moonlight and gravitational pull have decreased."
The Moon Garden is 8” x 6 “ (20 x 16 cm) in size and comes with a standard 10" x 8" mount. It is ready to frame in a standard 10" x 8" frame.
