I have looked at lots of Dave Stuff and have not run across anyone focusing on different and creative Hardscape additions. Maybe here in Montana because of all the rocks I'm the only one interested but I would like to see your creative hardscape items. Also some description would be interestering. IE I have placed large amounts of large bolders in my garden and it makes winter a great view even when there is no color. I have 5 sets of rock groups representing each major pass through Montana and the mountains inbetween. IE Canadian Rockies , Glacier Park Rockies, Bob Marshall Rockies, and so far Bozeman Group. In each bed I have placed plant species that are prevelant in each pass. Of course I have lots of non-native species, but it helps my wife and I discuss different planting beds when we discuss changes or developing garden highlights. The enclosed picture is of the Glacier Park grouping. In the back of the group is a native species of Juniper ground hugging bush seen a lot in the approach to "Going to the Sun Hwy". Please note these were purchased from one of the many sources of native nurseries in our area.
