ROCK GARDEN PLANTS 



The construction of a Rock Garden is very simple, where stones are plentiful. 



Select a partially shaded location where the ground has ordinary moisture, and is well-drained. 

 Begin by placing the stones so as to allow the moisture from rains to run into the garden and not 

 away from it. After placing a stone in position, work the soil in well around it in order to allow the 

 moisture to work up among the stones and give the proper conditions for growing rock plants. Any 

 air spaces that are left between the stones will prevent an even degree of moisture in the garden.
