Arbor, Pergola, Trellis - Inspiring Garden Ideas for all Gardeners

Arbors, pergolas, and trellises bring structure, height, and a focal point to any garden, creating an enchanting, leafy haven that provides shade and perfect support for flowering climbers.

  • Arbors: Arbors, often used as garden entryways, are perfect for climbers like roses or honeysuckle, which can create a fragrant, romantic passage. Try a simple wooden arbor for a rustic feel, or a white-painted arbor for a more elegant look. Grow clematis, sweet peas or jasmine for a visual feast and aromatic delight.
  • Pergolas: Pergolas offer a larger shaded area, making them ideal for outdoor living spaces. Wisteria, grapevines, or passionflower climbing on a pergola can provide lush, natural roofing. Add a dining set under the pergola for a perfect outdoor meal setting, or use it as a walkway draped with hanging lanterns for an enchanting night-time effect.
  • Trellises: Trellises can function as screens, dividers, or simply as a support for climbing plants. Try using several in a row to create a green wall of climbing hydrangeas, or use a standalone trellis with climbing roses as a garden focal point. They can also add height and interest to a flat landscape.

Each of these structures invite a vertical element to your garden, providing new opportunities for plant display. Their charm lies in their versatility and the inspiration they provide, allowing gardeners to think upward and transform their gardens into three-dimensional art forms.
