Growing plants between driveway paving stones?

[SmittenGarden]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I couldn't think of anywhere else to ask.

When we bought our house two and half years ago, (from a flipper who wasn't very good at doing up houses) the drive way in our back garden (back half of it is half drive way area I front of the automatic hate and the rest solid concrete foundation under a four post wooden car port) was set up in at the time I felt a rather attractive crazy paving with gravel....by that I mean its irregular shaped stone slabs set apart from each other with large gaps. In which they filled which loose gravel. You pulling in through the gate (which makes up half of our back wall) onto this crazy paving gravel and do a sharp turn into the carport which sits on its own solid concrete foundation. This "crazy paving" which when we bought it seemed attractive at the time is another testament to the flipper ineptitude at what he does and greed... All about spend little to no money investing, not knowing what he is doing and wanting big bucks back. I won't bore you with details of the stupid stuff that we keep finding...but I'll just say as far the paving is concerned I do t think he did it properly and we are loosing stone slabs (which are not huge (not much bigger than my size 5 feet) from driving over them constantly. I think they have been just placed over gravel and then gravel between the gaps....

One of my father in laws neighbors has a rather boho tiny front garden which has tiny set apart pavers like ours (but dif shape) but instead of gravel they have I think Mose growing all over and I between. I'm wondering if that would be a god option for us.. to plant some Mose or something over or instead of the gravel to keep the slabs in place.

Except I don't know where to start or what I should know before doing this....
Such as can I plant over the gravel so as not to loose the hight in the driveway as the slabs are sitting on gravel. Or if it can be kept to just the driveway and maybe our foot path and not take over our grass and flower beds? Also not sure how great planted driveways are? R are they a bad idea?
