Directions
Measure the length of the flower bed you wish to line with solar-powered rocks to determine how many you will need.
Lay out the solar-powered rocks along the edge of the flower bed to plan your design and spacing.
If using landscape fabric, cut it to fit the length of the flower bed and lay it down to prevent weed growth.
Using a garden spade, dig a shallow trench along the edge of the flower bed where the rocks will be placed.
Place the solar-powered rocks into the trench, ensuring that the solar panels are facing upwards to receive maximum sunlight.
Adjust the spacing between the rocks as needed to achieve your desired look.
Once all rocks are in place, gently press them into the soil to secure them.
Allow the rocks to charge in direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours before enjoying their glow at night.

Variations & Tips
For a more colorful display, consider using solar-powered rocks that change colors or come in different hues. You can also mix and match different sizes and shapes of rocks for a more organic and varied appearance. If you prefer a more subtle look, space the rocks further apart or use fewer of them. Additionally, consider pairing the solar rocks with other solar garden lights or lanterns to create layers of lighting throughout your garden.
