Create a stacked-stone totem for an all-season focal point in a planting bed. Collect stones from around your property and glue them one on top of the other with a two-part masonry epoxy. To prevent tall structures from tipping, bore a hole through each stone's center using a hammer drill fitted with a ⅜-inch carbide bit. Thread the stones with a steel dowel sunk in the ground.
