Arbors

New side-yard arbor

This harsh winter and the recent heavy winds caused havoc on our Arbors that create interest at entries and as accents in the gardens. So yesterday I replaced/repaired a arbor that supports a porcelain vine and clematis vine that leads one to and fro the back landscape on our east side.

Then today I completely rebuilt a Arbor that supports a honeysuckle vine surrounding a park bench in our butterfly/humming bird garden. Just recently we had strong winds during the night, and as I was brewing my morning coffee I looked out the kitchen window to sadly see the Arbor on the ground.

Ready to support the vines.

Since the honeysuckle vine and the forsythia in garden are one of first food sources for our returning humming birds I took task in hand quickly to rebuild.

Both of these Arbors are created in a rustic mode from wood and branches gathered from our property and the Oak savanna in farmers field behind our property.
