Rock Garden 


SWIMGA Rock Garden


The Rock Garden features a sloping berm and is covered with Indiana sandstone boulders as well as smaller rocks. It has a natural look while providing pockets in which we plant a variety of evergreens, perennials, and bulbs. All plants in the Rock Garden were selected for their suitability to our climate, their tolerance of the full sun exposure, and the elevated soil temperatures from the rocks.


Evergreens add vertical structure to the garden while colorful perennials are grouped in the pockets. Spring blooming bulbs, summer and fall blooming shrubs, and perennial plants and winter color from red twig dogwood add up to year-round interest in this garden.
