Side-by-side comparison of formal and informal garden walkways leading to a stone cottage

This image is split down the middle to show two different styles of garden pathways leading to a charming stone cottage. On the left, a formal pathway features evenly spaced rectangular stone slabs bordered by neatly trimmed grass and symmetrical flowerbeds with purple and green plants. On the right, an informal pathway consists of uneven stone stepping stones set in gravel, surrounded by lush, varied greenery, flowering plants, and a wooden bench under a large tree. Both sides highlight contrasting garden design approaches, showcasing the tidy symmetry of formal gardens against the natural, relaxed aesthetic of informal paths.
