One of the most visually arresting sights in a sunny summer garden is a trellis supporting a mass of vibrant flowers. Or it might be a vegetable garden trellis, as upright gardening works well for squash, cucumbers and zucchini, as well as many fruits including grapes, tayberries and blackberries.
Vertical growing is becoming increasingly popular, as it gives small backyards the extra dimension of height, and much more scope to grow. There are lots of climbing plant support ideas, including espalier frameworks for fruit and ornamental trees, but a trellis is a favorite of mine.
