Create your rock garden
Owners of a condominium with a garden, an allotment, or a house with a garden can consider themselves fortunate. Owning a garden offers many advantages, especially in the warmer seasons, as it can become the most beautiful place in the summer. A garden offers you the opportunity to shape your ideas of nature and thus create a place where you enjoy spending your free time. At the same time, a garden offers a wonderful opportunity for relaxation. To achieve this goal, however, you must first take the right approach so that the garden can be created according to your taste and ideas.
A rock garden – an elegant combination of plants and stones
Perhaps not everyone has heard of a rock garden. A rock garden involves furnishing a certain area with many natural, differently sized stones. These stones are spaced at varying or even intervals according to personal preference. The arrangement of the stones alone can create a very beautiful visual effect. However, most people don’t stop at this simple arrangement of stones. In many cases, different plants are planted between these gaps. For example, a walnut tree might be ideal for a large gap between large stones. Pansies or garden herbs are suitable for smaller gaps. Many people use the rock garden primarily as an attractive display of useful plants. This means that vegetables or herbs that can be used in the kitchen are grown between the stones. Some examples would be chives, rosemary, thyme, and similar herbs. These often require little maintenance.
In addition, a gentle breeze can carry the intense aromas several meters towards you, transforming the garden not only into a visual highlight but also into an experience for the senses. Before such a rock garden can be built, many stones are needed. You have the option of either buying the stones or digging them up from your garden. In many gardens, even larger stones lie just a few centimeters below the surface of the ground. With a little muscle power, you can dig these stones up from your garden. This saves money, as you don’t have to buy the stones, and it also gives the rock garden a personal touch. The combination possibilities of rock gardens make this type of garden particularly attractive for smaller gardens.
Even small areas are sufficient for you to fulfill your dream of having your rock garden. There are many other interesting and creative ideas on the subject of gardens. This broadens the horizon and allows people who are new to the topic to gain a first impression.
