  • Question

    I'm interested in developing some "living pathways" through my small garden. I've been reading about "stepable" plants, such as creeping thyme and roman chamomile, and am inspired by the work of Lionel Smith on grass-free lawns in the U.K. (http://www.grassfreelawns.co.uk/). Do you know of any resources (people I could talk to, or online) that might steer me towards some lists of native creeping (clonal) forbes that might be suitable for such a project? Thank you!
