Welcome to Garden Primitives, a site devoted to the primitive "nature" of gardens and a unique type of garden art that sets your yard apart from a typical landscape.  You will discover that you can create your own faux primitive stone garden accessories by using a mixture called hypertufa.  You don't have to be a talented artist...just a creative spirit who enjoys making a "mud pie" or two. 

       Hypertufa Photo Gallery

Are you like me and wish there was less text and more photos on many of the hypertufa websites.  Well, you can visit simplyhypertufa.googlepages.com and view many  more photo galleries of finished projects, as well as some how-to photos.  It's filled with hypertufa birdbaths, planters, fountains, leaves and MUCH MORE!
                                        
Hypertufa is the "newest old" look in landscaping and garden decor... 

Hypertufa is a simple combination of portland cement, perlite and peat moss and when mixed with water, mimics the look of natural stone when dry. 

If you enjoy a "naturally elegant" look, you'll enjoy the unique character and texture of hypertufa, whether it's a planter, a birdbath, a fountain, a casted leaf...or just something interesting you set among the flowers.  

        
Hypertufa Not Only Works Well in the Desert...
