During early spring of 2024, I created an L-Shaped Arbor and Garden Fence along the left side of my garden and perpendicular to that–across the back. At first, the area looked terrible. The structure is crude, and before it was covered in vines, it did not look good.

I set a row of metal raised bed containers on each side of a retired greenhouse arch that I had painted green. It is possible to walk between the two rows of raised beds.

To add privacy, I covered the farthest left side with a woven twig fence that I purchased from Wayfair,

I planted a row of Heirloom Heavenly Blue Morning Glories along the closer side of that arch and another row of Morning Glories along the back of that area.

The above photo shows Heirloom Heavenly Blue Morning Glory growing in my previous garden. The red is Pineapple Sage.

Perpendicular to the arbor on the far left, I built another arbor/fence area perpendicular to the first one:

The above photo shows the left and back of my garden in early June.

The above photo shows the back of my garden. As of July 20, 2024, the morning glories are still in the vine stage, and the vines have covered both the left side of one garden area and across the back.

This birdhouse is on the back garden wall amidst Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Vines and Scarlet Runner Beans.

The back arbor/fence comes to a mid-point, where I have placed an arch:

The above photo shows the arch that is at the back, mid-point of my garden – on June 5, 2024

From this mid-point, I have continued the fence, along the back of another garden bed–moving in a straight line across the right.

I used the following product, and the arbors at the back of my garden are 2-sided. Again, I can walk between the 2 sides of the arbors, and there are raised beds on each side of the arbors.

Coming toward my house, I have begun creating a heavy duty arbor wall, where I’ll grow Amethyst Falls Wisteria and Climbing Roses. For the arbor I am creating now, I am using a combination of materials– incluing  the Urgowa system and  the LZRS Metal Trellis system.

To maximize the support, I have used  a commerical display grid system:

The grid system, along with the  heavier LZRS trellises, and also along with the Urgowa arbors will support my wisteria and my more massive climbing roses. I connect all the metal pieces with florist wire.

In front of Peggy and a bit to the left, I have planted a Louise Odier Rose and a Parfuma Earth Angel. Both of them are shorter climbing roses, and they are fragrant.

Size: 5′ x 4′
Introduced in 1851

“One of the most beautiful and popular of the great Bourbon class, this fully double, 3-4”, camellia style blossoms boast 60+ petals each dripping in a rich rose pink. Louise Odier is blessed with an exquisitely rich perfume making her excellent for arrangements, bouquets, and boutonniere. She is a vigorous, bushy, continual blooming plant resulting in loads of flowers all at once. We love her in vintage-themed gardens, wild and free gardens, organic gardens, cutting gardens….” Heirloom Roses

Size: 5′ x 4′

“Earth Angel is an exceptionally fragrant peony-shaped rose with bright, glossy green foliage. It’s easy to see why everyone loves her. Her upright form holds blooms in varying color from white to soft pink that change as the plant matures. Earth Angel is an old-fashioned rose with a very unique fragrance. Her scent begins with a fruity top note of lemon, then champagne, a hint of elder flower and dash of raspberries. She is what we imagine “freshness” would smell like. Her finish is a light sweetness of fresh apples and a classic rose bouquet.  Give her a few years to establish and her bloom shape and scent will become more and more true to form.” Heirloom RosesVery Fragrant • Double Petals
