A long, narrow path winds through a lush garden filled with various plants and shrubs. The foreground features a mix of green foliage, white flowers, and small bushes. In the middle ground, taller grasses and other plants rise up, creating a natural border along the path. Trees and bushes line the background, adding depth to the scene.
