Plant supports can take many forms, but all can add a vertical note to your garden. By choosing decorative supports, you ensure that they accent your yard all year long.

This rickety old wooden ladder gets a rustic makeover with the addition of bent grapevines. Be sure to anchor tall structures securely. If young children are a common sight in your garden, be sure to let them know that these are not play structures for climbing. But they can make wonderful shady places to play under.

 

For a more formal garden, consider adding a traditional tuteur like this one. Standing unadorned by greenery, this structure adds an outstanding visual element to your garden.
