Useful Arbors for Garden Design

As a garden designer, I am always looking for interesting garden structures to make my designs unique. Garden structures also expand the pallet of plant materials by giving climbers something to climb on. The showiest blossom is not so showy if it lies face down in the mulch all summer long. Arbors are excellent structures to show off unique blooms in the garden. Online I have found a couple of products that I really like. The first one is the Beachside Arbor. It is a rustic structure made from Western cedar. I love the cedar color but there is no reason why it could not be painted or stained to match or coordinate with a particular color scheme. The Beachside Arbor is perfect for fast growing plants that climb aggressively. This is a good characteristic in a vine because they cover quickly. Plants such as wisteria and antique climbing roses exhibit these characteristics.

The other structure that I am found of is the Modern Arbor. This is very useful to train more delicate, slower growing vines. The geometric details of the Modern Arbor contrast well with the organic shapes of leaves and flowers. I like to train Sweet Autumn Clematis or Tangerine Beauty Smilax and let the oohs and aahs roll in.
