Rock Gardens are one of the most effective landscaping features.
They also provide that all elusive curb-appeal that adds signicant value to a home at minimal cost.
There are few features in the garden that provide such a variety of interests in so little space as a well-planned and carefully planted rock garden.
The smallest plot may contain a rock garden which will house a representative and charming collection of alpine plants; but, on the other hand, there are few features in the ordinary garden that are so neglected and so ill-understood.
It must be remembered that the chief function of the rock garden is to provide the plants grown in it with conditions, so far as possible, similar to those existing in their natural haunts.
The alpines and high alpines are the most typical of all rock plants and are mostly natives of the high mountain crags and screes of the Alps and Himalayas.
The ideal rock garden, therefore, should, so far as possible, provide the soil and natural conditions pertaining in these regions.
During the short alpine summer the plants are subjected to fierce and baking sun; many of them, therefore, have thick leaves covered with down or hair to protect them from its shrivelling rays.
The roots, too, at this time need ample moisture, and this is provided by the melting of the snows on the mountain tops, whence it permeates through the scree of the moraine.
Also, to live in their natural haunts they require to be very deep and strong rooted, very often with a much greater root run than the foliage and flowers which their roots support.
Enjoy. DT.

SUITABLE STONE
In making the garden the stone of the district should always be used where possible, although it is advisable in the dry districts in the east and south of Great Britain to use a porous sandstone, as this provides a kindlier home for the roots and a cooler stone for the foliage in the long sunny days.
The more rugged limestone of the Cheddar and Lancashire hills has a most natural weather-worn appearance and the cracks and crevices provide a cool root-run for the plants in the wetter areas of the north and west coasts.
In the industrial areas where there is considerable atmospheric pollution the natural lichen and mosses are quickly removed, leaving a somewhat grim appearance to what should have been a very harmonious picture. The stone chosen should be porous so as to be able to absorb ample moisture: hard, impermeable rocks, like granite, should, therefore, be avoided unless arranged with skill, except in the wetter regions.
Any natural rock formation should be used as a basis, the garden being constructed round and among it, the knolls or banks required being built up, not on heaps of stones, but on good soil, with big stones set in outcropping groups here and there, the surface being set fairly thickly with stones of varying sizes, but all of the same kind.
Let the stones be rugged and as massive as the size of the rock garden and one's means will warrant.
Here and there set in larger stones, sometimes touching and forming ledges and knolls so that, when these are filled with plants, they give the whole the appearance of solidarity and the bold outlines of natural stratification. It is essential that there shall be no spaces and dry hollows amongst and around the stones, and that the earth shall be well bedded round them.
