Howells planted Scotch moss (Sagina subulata ‘Aurea’, zones 4 to 8) and Corsican mint (Mentha requienii, zones 6 to 9) between the concrete pavers. Both plants handle foot traffic, grow to about 1 inch tall and provide a cushy, bright green outline around the concrete pavers. The Corsican mint also emits a strong fragrance when it’s stepped on. “I have always wanted to do a project where I could introduce that idea of the sense of smell,” Howells says.
