About Stepping Stones
A line of flat stones laid just above the water's surface turns a garden pond into something to move through, not just look at. Each stone carries its own small world, a patch of moss, a splash of lichen, the cool breath rising off the water below. The bank slopes gently down to meet the edge, and somewhere between the gravel path and the far shore, the crossing becomes a small, unhurried adventure.
