GARDEN TRELLISES

ANGEL TRELLIS

Tom created the ANGEL TRELLIS for Margaret for her 'Nelly Moser' clematis and honeysuckle vines. When the honeysuckle blooms, the entire east garden is full of delicious, sweet fragrance. I thought you might like to see some of the trellises Tom has made for clients and Margaret over the past 15 years. 

Master Gardener friends contributed old, broken and discarded garden tools to Tom's project. They form the internal structure of the 16 foot-long, four-panel
ANGEL TRELLIS.

Junior likes to climb on the trellises, especially the one in front of the porch. From the trellis, he can jump to the roof and run all over the house.

He thinks he is really funny when he does that.

Margaret creates private spaces in the garden with her trellises. When these vertical walls of greenery are in full bloom, new textures and color fill the gardens. Several varieties of clematis as well as honeysuckle, wisteria, grapes, trumpet vines, raspberries, sugar pod peas, beans and cucumbers climb structures of different shapes and sizes in our gardens. Many of Tom's trellises also include colorful fused glass pieces created by local glass artists. The glass provides interest and color especially during the winter months when most of the vegetation is dormant and brown (see blog of 12.29.2010 for Tom's ASIAN TRELLIS in snow).
