Bring planting within reach
The path passes close to the planting without becoming crowded. Mature plant sizes keep the walking space comfortable.
Pollinator Walk
A closer relationship with the garden.
The starting point.
The route itself becomes the destination. A narrow garden walk invites a closer look at flowers, seed heads and the movement of grasses, with a simple bench offering a reason to stay.
The design idea.
A fine gravel path threads through generous planted drifts. Repeated shapes hold the composition together while varied flowering periods create change over the season.
Think beyond one flowering moment
The palette combines different flowering periods and lasting seed heads. Different flower forms give the border a varied character across the growing season.
Keep one quiet destination
A modest timber bench gives the walk a pause. Its position makes room to observe without blocking the route.
Close to the ground.
Planting character
A mix of penstemon, coneflower, black-eyed Susan and native grasses. The layered border offers different flower forms and a long sequence of seasonal interest.
Material palette
Fine gravel, understated stone edging and a simple timber bench. The materials stay quiet beside the planting.
A garden for your home begins with your site, priorities and the way you want to spend time outside.
