If you’ve never had a garden trellis, it’s time you grew up
Running out of space in your garden? Maybe it’s time you started growing up—with a garden trellis, that is! A garden trellis allows you to maximize your growing space vertically at the same time as giving climbing vines, plants and flowers room to grow. A garden trellis, especially a wood trellis, adds that extra dimension to your garden. It’s great for creating a natural-looking privacy panel at condos or apartments. And if it’s a wood trellis, it usually blends right in with the existing garden décor.
The basic design of a garden trellis lets you use it in several ways. Though they also come in plastic and metal, a wood trellis is the most versatile. It can stand with its legs buried into the ground alone or next to a wall or fence. You can have it as part of the garden decor as an accent or a backdrop. Put two or three together and your garden décor becomes a disguised privacy fence. Put just two a few feet apart, link them together with slats and you have a gate.
So, next time you are looking for something to grow in a crowded garden—add some extra space first with a garden trellis. Then add some extra charm with a wood trellis. After that-- plant your roses, flowers or vines and start growing up!
