Problem
Paths through a garden often sit exposed to full sun or serve as nothing more than a bare connection between two destinations. In that case, the walk itself easily gets lost as an experience, reduced to mere transit.
Solution
Cover garden paths with a vine-covered trellis or pergola, so that walking beneath it becomes a shifting play of shade, light, and leaves, turning the path itself into something worth experiencing.
