You can read the blog post that goes with this video A PLANTER FOR THE GARDEN CREATED FROM 2 PIECES OF ROCK here: http://www.joyusgarden.com/planter-created-2-pieces-rock/ In this post I share give you an idea for a naturalistic, unique planter which will last for ages. 

I love container gardening and have quite a few pots made from different materials on my porch, on all of my patios and in the garden itself.  A container, planter or pot (call it what you wish!) placed in the garden creates interest and can be used as a focal point. This rustic, naturalistic planter that you see was actually created from 2 pieces of rock purchased from a landscape supply company up in the San Francisco Bay Area.

We headed off to find pebble for the long, winding path, a few large pieces of rock to be placed here and there, topsoil and amendment. A visit to the landscape supply company is fun because I always find some fascinating treasure every time. This trip was no different. We found a 1 ton hunk of rock with a natural indent on the top which became a one person seat. We affectionally named it "the  butt rock". A few rough chunks of rock also caught our eye and they became 2 planters. Because both of them are shallow, I plant them with annuals or perennials that don't root too deep.

This video gives you a little closer look at this functional rock creation.
