| In the garden with natural, landscape style, live paths, paved garden footpaths in which intertiled seams every possible plants have lodged will be very pertinent. A pleasant composition from a stone and plants which are not used too often is suitable for gardens. Landscape intertiled seams of garden paths look very effectively and give a natural shape to the garden. It is possible to create live paths in the various ways. The most important thing is to do the wider seam between tiles to provide the minimum space for development of root system. The more wide seam, the more comfortably plants feel. The backlash between tiles should be not less than 2 sm. And if large stones are used- no less than 5 sm. To fill seams with a grass correctly, seeds for park lawns are mixed with sand and scattered on a path, and then they are swept away in backlashes between tiles. The assortment of plants for sowing intervals between the tiles laid on distance of a step from each other, is very various. Plants do not suffer any discomfort from trampling as through stepping them. Thus the soil should be damp and fertile. The lily of the valley, houseleek, ferns well grow in the shaded places between tiles. And in solar places such plants, as thrift, the cat's pad, and candytuft wonderfully get accustomed. Pulvinate plants are well adapted for beachy paths, like cleaning from caustic and thyme creeping. They are unpretentious and grow on poor soils. These photophilous plants in 5 sm. height in due course form bright blossoming rugs. Along the edges of paths where go less, it is possible to sow a phlox subulate (plants of the Alpine hills). For gardening of wide seams between tiles the pearlweed (pink family) are applied, forming underground creeping sprouts. It is shade-loving and consequently it is impossible to plant pearlweed on open solar sites. The bright picture turns out, if pearlweed has something in common with crocuses and a hyacinth mouse. For gardening of seldom visited garden paths use the Roman camomile and English Camoline. They form a dense fragrant cover which looks very extravagantly. However, these grassy permanent crops do not maintain too frequent circulation, it needs a lot of light for it, a good drain of water and cutting in height 7-8 sm. Old English grade Treneaque possesses to a very big stability to trampling. Walking on the path, set with grasses, it is possible to enjoy spicy aromas of lavender cotton and various kinds of a thyme. Landscape intertiled seams of garden paths look decoratively. They successfully recover a static stone laying and composite unite footpaths with beds and lawns. The author - Valentina
