Our Ground Cover-Planted Pathway: What Do You Think?


Planted early last summer. It’s progressed significantly since then. Zone 3b.

    Very nice. And the gate at the end of the path a great focal point.

    Looks lovely Can you tell us some of the plants we’re seeing here? Is the front left Corsican mint? How about the pink in the back?

    Nice job! Not me, wanting to see what’s behind the gate 🙂

    This is awesome. It’s filled out so well in just one year! How many plants did you start with? That sedum is beautiful.

    I’m trying to establish something similar in my back garden. I’ve got some annual alyssum, sempervivum, wooly thyme, creeping thyme, and stonecrop. Mine is taking a while to get going because I only add new plants when I can get a good deal on them. I’m planning on hitting up the July clearance sales this summer to add more.

    It looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing. I’m in year 1 of trying to transform my hill of sand and rocks but a path like that is part of my vision. Thanks for listing the plants in there as well.

    Awesome! Did you lay down a garden tarp underneath to keep them from spreading?

    That path is to die for! I tried doing this, but the weeds took over. You did great!

    This is gorgeous. I could tell the zone just by looking.

    I so rarely see this kind of “prairie casual”/naturalistic style in our zone, folks always seem to go for that standard “rectangle lawn with rectangle mulched beds” look which gets so boring. Love this and want to recreate it! Thank you for the inspo!!

    That’s a lovely idea. Instead of boring grass, using ground cover is a fantastic idea to introduce more biodiversity to your small patch.

    That’s exactly what I’m aiming for! Beautiful job!

    How do you keep it so lush and weed free?

    I love this! This gives me awesome ideas for space conserving walkways through my garden next year!

    Nice! I’m trying to get some ground covers to work but so far a few of them were watered too many times by my dogs. Sigh.

    Beautiful though personally for me it means a ton of bees at my feet, and thats a massive phobia for me. In the spring time I would not be able to walk through there.
    But it IS beautiful. You did a great job.
