First, let's find the dimensions of the garden plus the walkway.
The garden itself is 5 ft by 6 ft. Since there is a 2 ft wide walkway around it, you need to add 4 ft to each dimension (2 ft on each side).
Length: 6 ft + 4 ft = 10 ft
Width: 5 ft + 4 ft = 9 ft
Now, we need to find the perimeter of the walkway that surrounds the garden:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width) = 2 * (10 ft + 9 ft) = 2 * 19 ft = 38 ft
Therefore, the amount of fencing needed to surround the walkway is:
**38 ft**
