MINNEAPOLIS (December 2005) – Gardeners create green spaces as their own personal retreats and as an escape from the busy world around them. Each plant and flower tells its own story and each garden is as unique as the fingerprint of the person who created it. Now you can customize your garden even further with Magnetic Poetry’s Poetry Stones that help you add words into your garden. You can evoke the cobblestone paths and tended landscapes of Europe, create an Asian feel, or celebrate the joy of nature by creating your own beautiful, distinctive border stones, plant markers, and stepping stones for your garden. These kits make perfect gifts for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, grandparents, newlyweds, new home owners, and gardeners of all ages.

Creating the customized stones is easy to do. The Poetry Stone Kits include everything you need to get started and, with additional concrete mix available at any home improvement store, you could make dozens of stones in a single afternoon. The landscape quality forms, press-in letters, and trowel can be used over and over again, so that creating lyrical borders, custom walkways, and unique stone markers of all kinds are a breeze. And you can use them to tell a story, making sure words that are meaningful to you are close by or simply to add some verse among the violets.
