I am about to install a winding pathway in my back yard. Other than cedar mulch, can anyone recommend a foot friendly material for my new garden path?

Is there some deep psychological reason or does it just mean that everyone's feet hurt? Annie at the Transplantable Rose Well, Susan, now you know how to get 23 comments – take off your shoes.

Is there some deep psychological reason or does it just mean that everyone’s feet hurt?

I know it, my cats know it. So I mostly stay on the grass if I'm barefoot, my cats avoid the gravel like the proverbial plague. ;-) Concrete pavers and gravel = ouchie too.

I've seen that garden featured elsewhere. It IS very striking. But what's interesting to me is that the couple who created it got their design start here in Austin at Gardens, a nursery and design firm founded by James David and Gary Peese. I saw their personal garden last fall on the Open Days Austin tour and gave a photo tour on my blog: <a href="http://penick.dnsalias.net:58089/digging/?p=155." rel="nofollow">http://penick.dnsalias.net:58089/digging/?p=155.</a> Their influence can definitely be seen in the Pacific NW garden featured in this month's Fine Gardening Magazine.

Are they paying you for the publicity? ;-) Well, Susan, I let my subscription lapse, but after your post I may have to re-up it. Are they paying you for the publicity? ;-)
