The designer of this little river-rock tower says that of all the creative hardscape touches she's added to her small garden over the years, this has always gotten the most attention. It's elegant in its simplicity, and it's minute-quick and free. What more could you ask for?

Welcome to the Fine Gardening Garden Photo of the Day blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get new posts delivered to your inbox each morning so you'll always remember to take a look, or add us to your RSS feed. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to mgervais@taunton.com with GPOD in the subject line. We'll only respond if we plan to use your photo.

I have actually seen a few creations like those that can withstand destruction...It think its the way they are stacked that makes it more sturdy...
