rock garden
Boulders with plantings
A rock garden is a landscaped area featuring rocks, stones, and alpine or drought-tolerant plants arranged to suggest a natural rocky terrain.
The rocks serve both decorative and practical purposes, retaining heat and moisture for plants adapted to harsh conditions: She planted sedums and creeping thyme in the rock garden.
