Rock Gardens

A rock garden is a landscaped area where rocks, stones, and gravel are arranged to create a natural-looking setting, often planted with tough, drought-tolerant plants like alpines, succulents, or compact perennials. Rock gardens benefit gardeners of any skill level: they require relatively low maintenance, thrive in poor soil and dry conditions, and offer visual appeal year-round. For beginners, rock gardens are forgiving and easy to design, while advanced gardeners enjoy experimenting with plant placement and using rocks to create microhabitats or focal points. They provide practical solutions to challenging spaces, such as slopes, hot dry patches, or spots where little else will grow, and add structure, texture, and peaceful ambiance to any landscape.
