Rock Gardens Rock! with Marcia Tatroe
Have you fallen in love with those cute little treasures in the rock garden section but arenโt quite sure what to do with them? A rock garden is the answer.ย You can fit a large number of plants into a small spot making rock gardens ideal where space is limited. And because rock garden plants are tough and weather resilient, no garden is better suited to Coloradoโs capricious climate. This class covers the basics of building a rock garden including construction, soil and rock options, rock placement and plant selection.
