This is the reason why, just dreaming up a garden, and visualizing it, whether it is an Alpine Garden, a rock garden, or an ordinary garden needs effort, dedication, and application on your part. Far too frequently, you plan the garden quickly. You have not given the subject adequate thought. You have rushed in the work with lots of haste, and thus making a waste of perfectly good land. The result more or less of failure is going to be a sad and annoying reminder of your lack of patience and technical knowledge. Just imagine that you are making a garden in the same manner in which you are constructing your house. This is a skilled job. You are not going to start building your house, without proper thought, finances, plans, and timescales, are you. You are also going to take the expert assistance of a trained architect and contractors who are more skilled in building houses. In the same manner, many people fail to make their gardens what they might be just because they are too stubborn to call in an expert or because they do not possess some of the essential technical knowledge needed to make a garden. When you are planning any sort of pattern of reasonable dimensions, it may be wise to take some advice from an expert gardener. Also remember that if you are taking professional advice, you may need to look at his fees beforehand in order to prevent escalating costs, right at the initial stages of the project itself! This does not mean that you cannot have your own individual ideas carried out for a garden, because after all it is a reflection of the heart, body, mind and soul of the person who plans it. You want to create a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

Excerpt from Rock Gardening for Amateurs To have written a book on rock gardening for amateurs a few years ago would probably have proved futile, since comparatively few amateurs were interested. They were indifferent because ignorant of the charms and the possibilities of rockeries, and of the adaptability of alpine plants. The present popularity of rock gardening, and its wide appeal to all classes of flower lovers, are due to the fact that amateurs have begun to realise that the miniature plants from the high mountains and it is for their accommodation that rock gardens are made are intensely fascinating, and, on the whole, easy to grow. This result is doubtless owing in great degree to the discovery of new and beautiful kinds, and to the prominence given to rock plants at flower shows throughout the country. However this may be, rock gardening enjoys far greater popularity now than ever before, and garden lovers have found that a simple rockery can be just as delightful as an elaborate one. Alpine flowers should make an especial appeal to the possessor of a small garden, for it is possible to grow so many of them in a restricted area. Quite a small rockery will accommodate from one to two hundred alpines, and the more kinds one grows, the greater is the enjoyment; they vary so remarkably in growth in form and colour of leaf and blossom, and in their needs, as to afford unending delight to the gardener.

The aim of this book is to deal with the practicalities of rock gardening, not merely to supply a list of plants. After discussing how and where the plants grow in the wild, the author turns to consider the various man-made habitats that can be created. The main emphasis is on the rock garden and the alpine house, but alternative sites, such as raised beds and troughs, are also described in detail. Information is given on the construction, planting and care of the various areas of the garden. Detailed instruction is also given on acquiring plants either by purchase or propagation - the latter being dealt with at length.
