Old-fashioned rock gardens (think dated rockeries and uniform alpine planting) are being replaced by contemporary designs that create a calm landscape to enjoy that feels naturally composed rather than contrived like the styles of old.
If you live near a mountainous or hilly area your garden may already contain natural rocks so it's easy to embrace the surrounding landscape and add rock-loving plants to complete your design. If you don’t live in such an area but love the idea of finding out how to design a rock garden that complements your modern garden, the good news is they are easy to build from scratch.
