What are the characteristics and knowledge of rockery?

Rockery is a landscape mountain built with earth, stone and other materials in the garden.

Rockery has many landscaping functions, such as constituting the main landscape or terrain skeleton of the garden, dividing and organizing the garden space, arranging the courtyard, revetment, slope protection, retaining soil, setting natural flower beds and so on. It can also be combined with garden buildings, garden roads, sites and garden plants to form a varied landscape, so as to reduce artificial flavor, increase natural interest and make garden buildings integrate into the landscape environment. Therefore, rockery has become one of the characteristics of natural landscape gardens in China.
