    Dollars and Sense

    • We used 16 kinds of plants in Hardiness Zone 7.
    • The most expensive plant was the Florida Anise at $45 each.
    • The least expensive plant was the chocolate chip ajuga at $2 each.
    • The gravel path and stepping stones cost $150 total.
    • Concrete pavers are even less expensive, but Walter is not a fan of how they look.
    • Plant prices may vary by zone.
