Path Design Principles

Under Construction

The garden was designed to be experienced while walking, presenting a continually unfolding experience of color and texture. Every path curves through its entire length, each bend offering another surprise. Each one varies in width, surface, openness, and sharpness of turns depending the purpose of that particular path in the garden.

Vistas--varying distances, large foreground/small background

Routes to somewhere else, destinations
