Re: Rocks
Hello Annelle,
Could you please share with us the the web sites where you learned about
"Suiseki"? I have quite a few books on Japanese gardening and enjoy their style of
gardening very much. Do not use a lot of it, but it does underlie quite a bit of
my gardening. When using rocks as a feature in a bed I use the placement and
arrangement based upon the philosophy of Japanese gardening. Sure makes a world of
difference in appearance of the stones.
