Israel is renowned for its amazing variety of, well, everything, and the Rock Garden, one of the largest of its kind, gives ample expression to Israel’s geological diversity. A poet has certainly been at work on the sign-posted explanations for the various kinds of rock. For example, in this eye-capturing setting, lowly limestone becomes “a gift from the sea” and granite “a message from the depths,” to name a couple of the treasures on display from nature’s sculpture studio. Wandering the trails in the 10-acre enclosure you’ll find the rocks interspersed with some 3,500 species of plants, including over six acres of blooming cacti.
