hedge mazes

Topiary puzzle paths

A hedge maze is an outdoor labyrinth formed by tall, densely planted hedges that create pathways and dead ends.

Visitors navigate through trying to find the center or exit: We got lost in the hedge maze for an hour.

Hedge mazes are features of formal gardens and estates, popular as recreational puzzles.

Also called a maze garden.
