Why We Love Garden Trellises
Garden trellises are a great way to add vertical interest to your garden, while also providing support for climbing plants. These simple structures come in a variety of styles and sizes, and can be used in a number of different ways to enhance your garden's beauty and productivity.
Admire and Walk Through the Beauty of Your Climbing Plants with an Archway
We love maximizing garden space by filling it with an abundance of plant life. Training your plants to climb the trellis not only adds visual appeal, but also makes for an easy harvest. Gardening loses its charm when you have to step on your crops or miss out on ripe fruit because you can't see it. Being able to see your melons, squash, and cucumbers hanging from the trellis allows for easy picking and prevents crawlers from taking over and suffocating your other plants. Utilizing vertical space in a garden creates greater efficiency overall, helping you get the most out of your garden!
Enhance the Appearance of Your Garden with Deeper Layers and Textures
Trellises are not just functional - they can also be beautiful additions to your garden's aesthetic. Whether you opt for a traditional wooden trellis, a modern metal design, or a DIY trellis made from repurposed materials, there are endless options to choose from. Trellises can be used to create focal points in your garden, or to define different spaces and sections. Another benefit of garden trellises is that they can provide shade and privacy, depending on how you use them. By placing trellises strategically around your garden, you can create a sense of privacy and seclusion, while also providing shade for delicate plants as well as proper airflow.
