Vines and Climbing Plants

When you can’t grow out, you can always grow UP! Vines and climbing plants are a clever way to take advantage of vertical spaces in a garden, and to cohesively integrate the aesthetic of your home and garden. They are a perfect way to create shade above a patio, or privacy along a fence. And it’s impossible to resist the charm of tendrilous blossoms spilling over a trellis or pergola. Vines are a versatile, dramatic, and romantic addition to any garden.
