Wisteria. This is why it’s not appropriate for small spaces. It eats buildings.

Alston Arbor at the Atlanta Botanical Garden: Designed by Steve Robinson of Axios Architecture. The steel trellis was planned to help vines reach the top. Salvaged wood was used for the beams and posts.

Winter reveals the structural elements of a garden. This is blogger Martha Tate’s terrace covered with wrought iron arches. In the summer a red trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) provides shade and probably attracts lots of hummingbirds.
An artist’s studio is covered in an iron grid which allows ivy to be grown on it. Great idea to make a visual eyesore into a garden gem.
