Meadow paths

Editor's pick / special mention

The easiest and most natural-looking paths to install are meandering and unpaved. This one, in Sunol, California, leads over a footbridge and through low evergreen grasses such as Carex pansa, Festuca mairei, clumps of Lavandula ‘Grosso’, and Muhlenbergia rigens.
