The One Thing That Makes or Breaks It
"Paths are for plants that want to be touched. Line your walkway with fragrant herbs (lavender, rosemary), soft grasses, or fuzzy lamb's ear. When people brush against plants while walking, they engage with the garden—it becomes an experience, not just a view."
Notice how the best garden paths make you slow down and notice things. That's not an accident.
