Garden paths offer both utility and charm, directing loved ones through lush plantings. Stone and flagstone paths beckon the young and the old to tread upon them. They might direct someone to a vegetable garden or to a tool shed. And they might well do it in pairs, for these paths are often at least two people wide, perhaps because narrow paths tempt the explorer to squeeze sideways through obstructions, which many people would rather not do, especially when they might be carrying something or using the hands for balance.
