We love stone and rock! Just do. So many of you loved our post “Creative Ways to Use Rocks in the Garden” that we are doing a follow up with more great stone art ideas and easy projects with stones and rocks. All of these are beginner projects, are simple, inexpensive, and creative…and best of all, you may have the stones right in your back yard!
Stone Art Ideas
Stick and Stones
Use bundles of branches or sticks to create a garden post, then top with decorative stones or rocks from your garden. Love this!
Gabions
A gabion is a box or container made of wire mesh or fencing, and filled with a material for stability. In this case, wire mesh is used to create a tall box, filled with rocks or stones, then used as a decorative column. You can create tables, benches, even retaining walls with this method. Its a trendy and modern way to re-purpose in the garden, and its so creative!
Spiral Garden
Use rocks, stones and your favorite plants to create spiral garden art.
Create a Stone Art Mural
Got an ugly fence or wall that could use an artistic touch? Use rocks and stones and a construction adhesive from the home improvement store to create simple murals. This community garden has it right!
