Obelisks give you the chance to grow climbing plants throughout your garden, rather than limit them to just your walls and fences, while plant supports are indispensable for helping prevent herbaceous perennials flopping over paths, lawns or their plant neighbours.
Although most climbing plants are simple to grow they can be hard to contain, and may take over other trees and shrubs. The right plant support helps these plants grow as healthily as possible while keeping them in check.
Plant supports can fulfil a variety of roles. They can be straightforward, discrete support for your plants or aesthetic statements in their own right. They add height and focus to borders, can help to define areas of the garden and make a feature of more utilitarian crops like runner beans and peas.
Below is a curated list of obelisks and other supports to help you make the most of all the plants in your garden. For further inspiration have a look at our guide to garden wall planters or garden screening ideas.
