July 2, 2010, Newsletter Issue #321: Building A Rock Garden On Flat Ground.(2) Proportions

Tip of the Week

(A) Dimensions
Naturally, the length and width of your rock garden depends on how much space you have to spare. The height is a matter of personal taste, but aim to keep a small rock garden fairly low.
(b) High Points.
An undulating surface looks wonderful. The high point of the rock garden can be in the centre or towards either end of the bed.
If your Rock garden is to be long and narrow, two more high points can be added. Both are progressively shorter than the main high point.

One high point in a small rockery is normally enough. Place it off centre, for the most pleasing effect.
