Art in the garden - Botswana rocks

Along with our extraordinary minerals
like Diamonds, the geology of Botswana
is quite incredible, with Prehistoric rocks
that can be seen in our National Botanical
Gardens or at Francistown Airport.

Rocks come with different textures -
smooth and rough; in a variety of
Granite colours and foliations or striations. When
choosing which rocks to feature in your

garden, think about the effect you’re
trying to achieve. Is it to blend into the
background or stand out as a feature in
itself?

If you can’t get access to some of these
natural treasures, then head to Sanitas for
some fibreglass lookalikes, or even do it
Sandstone yourself. S.C
