I am an avid reader and a writer, so to me, gardens are possibly some of the most magical places on Earth.
Sitting still in a garden is worth to me a thousand dimes, a million bucks and the applauses that all the greatest performers have received in the world.

What makes us feel and wonder is the simple beauty of existence.

Stone gardens are naturally a source of inspiration.
There are so many ways to design a stone garden, so many shapes and forms. It is all about the stones and the fresh grass.
There is also one more special part, unique addition to the story – it is the patience to grow the plants of your dreams.

Pebbles spruce up landscaping ideas and give a distinctively modern feel to gardens and backyard designs. So why don’t we make a rock bench? It’s not so difficult.
Benches made entirely out of rocks and stones, are something we have inherited from our ancestors centuries ago.
It wasn’t unusual to build those back in the day. In fact, they were so common – like the castles, the kings, and queens. They are the perfect spot for relaxing and feeling the oneness of this world.
Sometimes a park bench becomes a strategic spot, a symbol much like the whipping top in “Inception”.
A place to go return to, to feel settled within oneself… It’s the mark where events circle back to and become whole.
