A few weeks ago, one of our neighbors gave us tons of field stone that they no longer needed because we were building a pond. It wasn't enough for the pond, so we used it to build beds around 4 trees in the backyard and a huge magnolia in the front (it was a lot of stone--at least 12 wheel barrels full!). I went to the local nursery today in search of a few items to fill in some of the beds and hit the jackpot!
