This is an update of my rock garden (the beginning is 8 posts above three years ago - the photo I have copied here.


Since then I have added many succulents and a pond in the foreground using an old Samsonite luggage port.





Alas, I have not yet been able to get vegetation established in front yet. This is hard work because standing water is much beloved by water birds which swim flap dig eat and toss plants.

Samsonite?...how innovative.

hey Gleni--long time no see! It must be spring for you now--Yay
looks like you've added some frogs too
I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate a bird bath... somehow...now I'm looking around at previously unconsidered objects

It was very clever to turn the old suitcase into a pond! I'm sure the thrift shops have a lot of them to buy.

Thank you. Hello Dirt. Yes, in making Samsonite luggage tamperproof they also made it water proof.

river rock are the best addition to any garden! I love the color once it rains!!

chickhill said: I have mostly red clay so sinking not a problem for me. Can't advise on that one.
I agree with Rick.

I know this an older thread, but just wanted to say I love how your rock garden looks. It's inspiring.
