Rock Garden Landscapes

Driveway Rock GardenDRIVEWAY GARDEN
Alpine gems encrust this formation of rocky outcrops making an interesting scene to visit on leaving and arriving home.  There is always something new to see.
 
Arboretum Rock GardenGARDEN STEPS
Flanking steps with rocks and cascading alpines makes dramatic use of a change in grade. Every step up reveals a new aspect, increasing our appreciation of the garden and its plants. Occasional viewing platforms encourage slow and careful progress, enriching the garden experience. Gardens of Rice Creek built this rock garden at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
 

Rock Garden WallKNEE WALLS TAME A STEEP SLOPE
Low walls at the bottom of a hill, back-filled with soil, lessen the angle of a slope. The nearer the surface is to level, the easier a sloping garden is to care for. Here, a cheerful mix of rock garden plants, some even pouring out of the kneewall, makes this sunny garden an ornament to an often-ignored space.
 

Rock GardenMINNESOTA LIMESTONE CLIFFS
Bold, rocky cliffs accentuate a change in grade in a natural way that a wall can never do. Dwarf perennials and rock garden plants bring life to the scene and reduce maintenance. Imagine how this dramatic arrangement would improve the entrance to a home driveway with sharply cut banks.
