Trellis can be an easy way to increase privacy in your garden, as it provides support for climbers such as clematis, roses, jasmine and sweet peas. Choose evergreen climbers and you can enjoy added privacy year round. Adding a trellis topper to an existing fence or wall is a simple way to create more room for climbers but there are many other trellis options, including fan-shaped panels that can be attached to house walls, trellis for containers and free-standing trellis, which can be used as a screen in your garden.
The alternative to traditional wooden trellis is to use rope planters, metal trellis, or make your own. Be creative and use things like window frames with chicken wire attached across it, ladders, bamboo frames, pallets – anything that plants can climb up to create a screen, add privacy or vertical interest. The easiest trellis to build is a bamboo frame that climbing vegetables can be trained to grow up. It can be cheaper to make your own trellis, if you are upcycling materials such as bamboo canes, ladders and pallets, but there is also a huge range of trellis to buy, with options for every budget.
Add trellis to a potContainers that come with an integrated trellis make it easy to grow climbing plants, whether you’re growing perennials such as clematis and jasmine or annuals like morning glory and Cobaea scandens. The most common design is a wooden trough with a tall trellis at the back, providing an attractive alternative to growing climbers up a wigwam in the centre of your pot. For a budget option, buy trellis that fits into a container you already have.
Hey GPODers! Today we’re back in the flower-filled garden of Heidi Weirether. We first saw her garden a little earlier on in the summer (you check check out that post here: Heidi’s Colorful Garden in Fairfield County) and it’s incredible to see how much has changed in a month’s time! As with much of the northeast this year, Heidi is experiencing incredible hydrangea blooms—but that is just the tip of the floral iceberg in her sensational garden:
When it comes to the South, gardens are a staple of nearly every home's landscape design. If you have a backyard garden that you're trying to spruce up in terms of aesthetics or make easier on your back to tend to, look no further than raised garden beds!

Garden mirrors offer a simple way to create interest and light in the garden. They can create the illusion of more space and add focal points that lead you through the garden. And, with so many types of garden mirror to choose from, you can match the design to your hard landscaping and planting to enhance your garden style.
Eating al fresco is one of the highlights of summer and being able to cook outdoors is an added bonus. Whether that’s having a barbecue, firing up the pizza oven or turning on your gas oven, having a dedicated area for your kitchen has never been easier. There’s a huge range of kitchens to choose from. To keep it simple there are barbecue tables, which can be wheeled out next to your cooking area to make serving easier, or with a full-scale kitchen you can have almost every convenience you’d have indoors, including a fridge.
Gardens are abuzz and harvest baskets are full. Here’s how to soak up the last of the season while prepping for the next.
There's perhaps no flower that's inspired more poetry, art, and prose than a rose. From formal rose gardens surrounded by boxwood hedges to cottage gardens overflowing with roses, foxglove, and native flowers, these layered blooms are held up as the star of the garden. They're carefully pruned into formal arrangements and allowed to climb and cascade over charming trellises.
These hosta plant ideas are all worth copying if you want to invite lush tropical vibes into your home and garden, even if you live in a cold climate!
Southerners love their gardening and landscaping, but if you really want to make your outside space feel welcoming and ideal for entertaining, it's time to figure out a hardscape plan. Unlike landscape which refers to the living elements like grass, trees, and flowers in your outdoor design, hardscape is the «non-living» elements like concrete, stone, and more.
