A Garden of Woodland Paths

Russel Wright

I like to give each of my paths a theme. Here are a few suggestions:

A Morning Path leading toward the east so that the sun shines through the trees as you walk.

A Sunset Path leading toward the west, if possible with a sit-down place for watching the setting sun.

A Springtime Path that shows off the wildflowers that bloom in the spring.

An Autumn Path that will show off the great variety of fall color in your trees and shrubs.

A Winter Walk which is predominantly evergreen.”

“A garden in its wider sense is, I think, a careful selection of certain aspects of nature, water, rock, flower, foliage, ordered and arranged by Man, and in which Man may have direct contact with plants; an area in space, however small, in which he may find rest, relaxation, recreation, and above all the feeling that he is living in, and integrated into, this space.”
