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.

A WORD ABOUT GRASS
One final suggestion for the real lover of beauty is to pay a visit to one of the more rocky slopes of our national parks, and where the garden is large enough he should endeavor to complete the picture with the aid of the lawn running up or down between the knolls of outcropping stone.
When in the heart of some of our more smoky cities only use the indigenous grasses of the area, don't sow seed used for the hayfield, or the garden lover will find that he spends most of his time cutting grass in summer to lose it completely in the frosty fogs of the winter months.
The seed of the dwarf-growing grasses is more exclusive and effective, about one to one-and-a-half ounces to the square yard is required, and the money spent is fully repaid.
I find a pinch of dwarf wild white clover seed to the pound is often a great help in establishing the turf; better still, select some turf from the immediate neighborhood and lay it over the surface, then remove the coarser weeds, for whilst one does not require a bowling green surface, the evenness of the surface is of considerable aid when the time comes to mow the area.
A covering of pit or sea sand on one or two occasions, brushed in, will gradually secure this surface, if there is not sufficient room to use a small garden roller effectively. One may lay turf throughout the milder periods of our autumn and winter months and sow the seed from March-May or in September.
