I seem to have a fascination with ‘natural’ things these days — like logs, fire (as in outdoor fire pits), sticks & twigs, and rocks.
Yes rocks.
There are plenty of fun things you can do with rocks:
Strategically place them in your garden
Use them as stepping stones for a walkway
Place larger ones in key areas and use as outdoor seating (patio, fire pit)
Place one on either side the path or steps leading up to your front door
Make fun centerpieces using stones and pebbles
Arrange them at the bottom of glass vases
Create outdoor water features
