If you don’t have many walls or fences in your home to grow your plants, your best bet is to look into buying a trellis or a garden arbor.

These outdoor structures are perfect for growing flowering vines, climbing roses, and even some climbing vegetables, such as peas.

• Garden Arbors

Arbors are typically made from vinyl, iron or other metals, or wood. Arbors can even have a small bench or swing built into the structure, making them ideal for relaxing.

The addition of a vine growing up and over your arbor will make it a cool and shady spot. Garden arbors come in a wide variety of styles. You can purchase arbors with flat roofs, arched roofs, or gabled roofs. Some garden arbors even come with gates or planters, making them functional pieces of art.

• Trellises

Trellises are leaning or stand alone structures that will work for a variety of plants. Both flowering vines and some vegetables work well when grown on trellises. Trellises are also useful for creating privacy barriers and “walls” where none exist in your yard.
