How to make a rockery
A rockery should be as natural a landscape as possible. For this reason, before making ours, it is important that, if we have the opportunity, let’s visit other gardens and / or nurseries around the area so that we get an idea of which plants we want to put, and where exactly. Once this first step is taken, it will be time to place the stones. These must be from the garden itself, or, if there are not, they can be requested from garden centers.
Those that are larger must be placed first, which will be the ones that will help us determine where the smaller ones will be. They must always be put in irregular groups so that it looks much more natural, and a little buried so that they have stability.

Plants must have enough space so that they can grow, although if there is not much available, it is not a problem: there are many species that are small in adult size, such as succulents and many cacti. In addition, you can also put lively flowers, such as dimorphic or gazanias, since they are plants that grow without problems in areas where there is not much soil.
And speaking of green, flowers and others, they must be place in successive stepsso that a rockery is as harmonious as possible.
