Here, paving comes to life: Paths in a natural garden do not require concrete and mortar to be stable and durable. They are made from natural materials such as wood, natural stone, pebbles, and gravel. Joints and accompanying borders provide new habitats for native plants and charming wildlife. Those who want to take a different path in the natural garden not only need a penchant for wild growth but also solid knowledge for planning, constructing, and maintaining paths, driveways, and seating areas. Garden planner Ulrike Aufderheide imparts knowledge of traditional building methods and explains the construction of stable paths layer by layer. She introduces the best plants for greening and offers proven tips for sustainable maintenance. Numerous garden plans by the author illustrate how beautifully natural gardens can be designed with the right paths and how close to nature they can be.
