GARDENING
Rock balancing: This is a recreational activity
where different-sized stones or pebbles are
precisely stacked on top of each other to
create a work of art. It is practised around
the world and promotes calmness and focus,
adding height and intrigue to a garden. Create
multiple towers around your space – it’s
challenging but worth it!
Colour is everything: If you love colour in the
garden, stones are your crayons! Create flowing
stone spirals along the edges of the flower
beds to bring in movement by using grey-blue,
white and green pebbles. Highlight containers
with a design using stones of various sizes and
bring it all together by planting Krantz Aloe Rock Sage
for shades of orange and red, Rock Sage for
magenta pink and Brandy Bush for blue-green
foliage with stunning, large yellow blooms.
Top tip: The overuse of gravel can increase the
soil temperature around plants. Rather use
gravel in areas that are further away from beds
and not directly in containers.
