Backyard Boldness Party Event Planning Involves Hardwired Rewilding
Garden Media Group announces in the 2016 Garden Trends Report “Syncing with Nature” backyard boldness party event planning as one of eight global consumer patterns in gardening, green living and landscape design.
Backyard boldness party event planning brings business lawns, community plots and domestic yards into the 21st century by “using technology, to create a more personalized experience.” Its “hardwired rewilding” convinces people “to feed their need for technology while at the same time breaking from their tech obsession and opt for fresh air.” It demands “syncing plants with local ecosystems that support wildlife” and “turning to new customization, lighting and movement to add a sense of whimsicality” to backyards.
Garden Media Group’s fifth trend embraces moon garden plants that flourish in electric and Nature-lit nightscapes and sun garden plants that survive in light and shadow.

WriterArtist, Thank you for visiting!
In particular, I like to think of this backyard lighting harmonizing outside -- albeit used judiciously from time to time, not cavalierly every sundown --with your wizzley about space-themed posters for kids (and adults ;-D).
Backyard lighting, as any sunset- to sunrise-lighting, needs to consider animals and plants resting then and foraging animals such as deer. It stresses me to see beautiful deer foraging sunrise to sunset since they are nocturnal eaters and all that night lighting perhaps would be an obstacle to their graceful, quiet, unassuming meals.
It is astonishing how technology can make our dark nights twinkle with lights. At the same time, appreciate wild life and plants need the night for rest. Hoping humans will stop messing with nature; festivals or otherwise. This article addresses the need to be eco friendly.
Tolovaj, Thank you for appreciating outdoor parties, particularly for children, who are such a delight to witness marveling over the wonder of the outdoor nightlights: fireflies, party decorations and stars.
There are a lot of useful ideas for the time of outdoor parties which just started. I believe kids are especially fascinated with night blooming.
sandyspider, Thank you for the visit. Night lighting and lights always bring lightning bugs and moths to the house. They also highlight my night-blooming moon garden plants. It's a win-win situation -- unless wildlife is trying to get a good, dark night's sleep ;-D!
Find it very pretty with the night bloomers.
CruiseReady, The down side of the night-bloomers is their pollination other than by standard day-time pollinators, such as by beetles and flies!
This is quite fascinating, and I really am intrigued by the idea of night blooming plants, which I had never given much thought to before.
blackspanielgallery, The performance has to be seen other than audiovisually, and I particularly like your saying "viewing from different angles gives new perspective." It moves me almost as much as looking at fireflies asynchronously and synchronously flashing and at the night sky. Where was Lantern Asia held in New Orleans?
The Lantern Asia video looked very familiar. I understand there are several, about four, that travel. I had the good fortune to go to one that was in New Orleans for several months. Pictures are inadequate, the lights actually flash in choreographed sequences. And viewing from different angles gives new perspective.
