Rock gardening --the art of growing alpines and other miniature plants
in the company of rocks in order to recreate the look of a rugged
mountaintop--has been surging in popularity. Time and space constraints,
chronic drought in the American West, and a trend toward architectural
plants are just a few of the reasons for the increased interest. Rock
Gardening brings this traditional style to a new generation of
gardeners. It includes a survey of gorgeous rock gardens from around the
world, the techniques and methods specific to creating and maintaining a
rock garden, and profiles of the top 50 rock garden plants.
