rock gardens
Boulder-filled garden beds
Rock gardens are landscaped areas featuring rocks, stones, and alpine or drought-tolerant plants arranged to mimic natural rocky terrain.
The rocks serve both aesthetic and practical purposes—creating microclimates and drainage for plants that thrive in poor, gravelly soil.
Japanese rock gardens (also called Zen gardens) use raked gravel and carefully placed stones for contemplation rather than planting.
