Hi everyone - I fancy putting a rock garden in a corner of my outside area but have no idea how to go about it.  I would be very grateful if someone could offer me so tips and tricks.  It's a small area, maybe 3/4meters wide and only half a metre deep   I have a sort of Zen garden idea in my head but am not sure what plants would thrive in this climate.  Some great pics on the Net but daunting for someone like me who is not terribly gifted when it comes to gardens.  Many thanks in advance for any advice.

There are lots of YouTube videos on rock gardens. Here are a couple.

Thanks Mags, I appreciate that. Will check them out. I've been on the Net but I think your idea of YouTube is better, never thought of it myself. Thanks again.
