Landscape Structures Provide Function And Beauty MELINDA MYERS Incorporate arbors, trellises and other structures into your designs when planning new or updating existing gardens and landscapes. These structures help form the framework of any garden, add yearround interest and provide years of beauty and function. Utilize arbors to define and connect distinct areas of the landscape. Invite visitors into your landscape with a vinecovered arbor. Guests won’t be able to resist the invitation to enter and experience the beauty that lies beyond. Cover these structures with vines for seasonal interest, additional texture and blossoms. Combine two different vines to extend or double your floral display. Plant an annual vine for quick cover with a perennial that takes a year or more to establish and cover the structure.
