The purpose of most paths is simple, to get from point A to Point B quickly. With a stepping stone path however the idea is to get to your destination as pleasingly as possible. Time in this instance is taken not wasted. Keeping this in mind design your garden stepping stones wide enough to accomadate two people. This will aid in your scenic narration of what you've planted this year. If possible plant some ground hugging bloomers along with some lax, floppy plants that will spill onto your path softening the walk. Keeping your visitors comfortable while walking your path will allow you to show off your garden longer.
The quickest point between two points is a straight line and this is exactly what not to do when planning your stepping stone path through your yard or garden. Put plenty of meanering curves that persuade any visitors to stop and admire your gardens beauty. Just don't go overboard with all those curves. Remember it's a path not a maze, put just enough curves to encourage lingering at your gardens prestige spots. Also plant some tall plants at these bends that obscure the final destination. This will give a small garden that expansive garden feel. Enjoy weaving your visitors in and out of your managerie with your stepping stones.
