Garden Paths Define Your Space
A country garden pathway made of stepping stones is a true delight to the gardener (keeps everyone out of your garden beds) and visitors alike.
These walkways – especially in the country cottage garden – are enticing, winding paths to something truly unique right around that corner – at least that’s what your garden guests will think!
Garden paths can also be easily defined by a wide variety of materials ranging in prices from free (using stones or mulch available in your area) to very expensive (individually purchased hand-crafted stepping stones) – somewhere in between are stepping stones for pathways that suit your style or match your personality.
You’ll see what I mean when you click the link in the next paragraph. Stones can be quite elaborate – with words "Imagine", stones that show off your favorite dog breed, stones with country garden trellis designs.
Yet garden path stepping stones don’t have to be expensive to add some style and visual interest to your garden. You make them yourself or get a great deal at ebay – all the best deals for stepping stones are filtered through this site.
You can find interesting ‘how-to’ articles online on creating your own interesting stones using large plant leaves (e.g. rhubarb) and a bag of cement. Better Homes and Gardens magazine online has 18 ideas for garden paths here.
