Jeff Epping, director of horticulture at Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison, said the gardens established a gravel garden along with a rain garden just west of the herb garden in 2010 as part of an effort in to include components of sustainability. Gravel gardens were pioneered in Germany and developed in the U.S. by Roy Diblik of Northwind Perennial Farm in Burlington. The gardens, once established, will need very few resources: no weeding, no watering, and no fertilizing. Diblik helped build the Olbrich gravel garden, topping off existing soil with four to five inches of washed quartzite gravel which doesn't break down quickly like limestone does, preventing weed seed germination. Epping said it was key to choose drought-resistant plants, and space them closer. "You want them to mass up and grow together to create a solid plant bed," said Epping of the process that will take about three years. The only maintenance is to keep organic matter from building up in the garden. Plants Epping and Diblik chose for this garden include the grasses prairie dropseed and purple love grass, Tennessee coneflower, goldenrod and bee balm.'
