By planting a garden, people are given a chance to take pride in something as they literally watch their handwork grow and blossom into something beautiful. However, when starting a garden many people often opt for a traditional look, and struggle to think of creative ideas to make their garden unique. While most people may want to try something a little different, they simply don’t know how.

Creatively using rocks and/or stones can help set your garden apart from all of the others in the neighborhood.  Whether you chose to build something using rocks, paint rocks, or simply use them for decoration in their natural state, knowing how to use these accessories will definitely come in handy.  Here are 20 gardening ideas using rocks and stones.
