I have gathered rocks from all over, from bigger than a bowling bowl to collecting buckets of smoothed, multicolor rocks along the lakeside shores, now added to a gravel bed to give depth and interest. Found people giving away rocks online - got plenty that way. Picked up rocks here and there from special locations as a "souvenir", which then goes into the garden. Rounded up many that are big enough to use as a border, all different, which looks great. It was many years of collecting. Every flower bed has rock accents, which allow for visual interest during the changing seasons as flowers grow.
