maze garden

Puzzling planted pathways

A maze garden is a garden designed with hedges, walls, or plantings arranged to form a labyrinth through which visitors navigate to find the exit.

The hedges are typically tall enough to block sight lines, creating the puzzle effect: We got lost in the maze garden for an hour.

Also called a hedge maze.
