    Is that slate you've used Donna? I really like what you've done with the path - it even makes the garden look bigger somehow. :-D

    Thanks Eileen, yes it is slate and 26 ft. long. Now if it would only warm up enough to plant some flowers.

    My main project for this summer is a path also. I just got the main "start" in place over the weekend. I'm going to use your's as my inspiration! Great job. It really looks wonderful.

    There is nothing like an inviting path to introduce people to your garden. Great job!!

    Very nice. There's something magical with winding paths. I got two in my tiny flower garden :)
    Not as cool as yours though...they're just cement squares...

    That looks great. What will you be planting along the path?

    I like your path so much! Really pretty. My spring project is making hypertufa stepping stones & pressing leaves into each stepping stone to leave their impression in each one. Have made 5 so far.... need ONLY about 20 more to lead up a slight slope I have from street to back-yard patio.

    Thanks all for the compliments.

    Toni, I have no real plans on what to plant along path. They will be what ever is the right size for the space. I refuse to buy any plants til I use up my greenhouse plants. And you know I have a lot. :p

    luvdirtyhands, what are hypertufa stones?
