- Description
-
Name: Rock and Crevice Garden
Open to the public: No
County:
USDA Hardiness Zone:
Extension Demonstration Garden? No
Approximate year the garden/landscape was established: 2019
What to look for: The steep slope of the backyard garden was managed by building retaining walls. The retaining walls created terraces and therefore planting opportunities. The homeowner hired Jeremy Schmidt, a landscape designer, to install the rocks in the crevice style in two places to connect natural outcroppings.
The plants provide color and attract pollinators. The crevices between the rocks are used by reptiles and invertebrates.
Horticulture: The area is in full sun. The plants tolerate drought once established.
