Rocks rock - when it comes to our yard and garden. Rocks come in all sizes and shape, from the LARGE decorative boulder above, anchoring a stonework planting bed, to small stone mulch, protecting and embellishing newborn garden plants.
But first, where do rocks come from? They are frequently found in the wild, affecting a rather stoical detachment to their surroundings. Here is a picture of some rocks in their natural habitat:
Domesticated rocks, on the other hand, are kept in a clean, safe environment and exhibit a more lively engagement, preferring the company of other rocks of similar ilk. Here's a look at a typical domesticated rock habitat:
Ben's Creek Nursery does its part and provides shelter for a variety of rocks:
Which is a long way around to the point that rock, and its diminutive brethren, stone and gravel, are key components in many landscape plans, and Ben's Creek Nursery crews are well versed in the strategic use of this material. Rock can be decorative, contrasting and complementing a pleasant bed of plants, for instance, or it can provide stability to an area prone to wetness. And most often, it can do both at the same time.
Herewith pictures of some of the many uses we have made of this versatile commodity.
