Creating a garden without an actual dirt furnishing item requires a bit of creativity. Here are some of my favorite ways of making dirt along with a few budget friendly planter options for your next ESO gardening project.

This is a Lux furnishing item.

Also available in a larger size.
Rubble Pile, Ancient Stone (Top right - view from above; Bottom Riight - view from side).
100 gold from the home furnishings vendor in Rimmen, N. Elsweyr, this is very budget friendly.
Normally, I use this flipped over so it's more level and easier to fit into planters or under trees.
Rock Field, Ancient Stone (Bottom)
100 gold from the home furnishings vendor in Rimmen, N. Elsweyr. Nice for adding a little dimension and depth to larger garden spaces.
