    As the title says,Im on the lookout for a large limestone boulder for my garden.

    I want to use it to make a nice feature in the garden and plant ferns and creeping plants around.

    Where could I get a large boulder like a limestone boulder or a similar dark coloured rock?

    Size wise,looking for something largis,about 2-3 feet high and about 2 foot wide.

    Thanks.:)

    Its for a front garden.:)

    If it were for a back garden,then I would get a hold drilled through it and make a water feature out of it.

    Nice water feature btw.:)
