I get public walk ideas and not the flowers, trees along the aisle. What wording do I use? Borders? I want to visually widen the public walk, by creating a flowing or arcing bed around different sections of the gangway.
You will obligation to install ground cover plants and plants 8-12" high max for the first four to six foot on each side (or up to 2x beside width of the path) next move up to 18"-30" for the next leash that will be 2x the path breadth. Then move up to plants that are 36" and over - including shrubs and understory trees like crape myrtles and dogwoods.
You can visually widen a esplanade by planting a wider section on any side with low-growing plants, and graduate up to taller plants further back from the wander.
A walkway that have 12" plants running along the side is going to "feel" more narrow than one next to low-growing sedum or groundcover stretching 2 feet beck on any side before blending into taller plants, which will discern wider.
To search for plants to fit the bill, don't use turn upside down words that describe the walkway, but that describe the size of the plants you want. "Groundcover", "low growing", "creeping", for example.
Answers: I believe what you are asking is for words to use when searching over the internet.
I am going to suggest that probably in this instance you may find greater assistance within library books. There are some fantastic ones out there. Some interesting accepted wisdom include looking at the ideas below Pergolas or Woodland Gardens, where the part must necessarily always be the pathway. I am so ecstatic you are not settling for a boring walkway. Even a straight aged path can be made intriguing and luscious, overhung next to vines and crowded in beside fragrant things. Good for you! Take a look at Roy Strong's books on small gardens. They really pack a punch.
