Create some height and interest in your garden

Sometimes when you look out at your garden, it can seem a little flat and lacking in something.  That 'something' is often structure, which can be difficult to achieve throughout the seasons, especially in the newer gardens. 

So how about adding these gorgeous obelisks, arches and trellis to your garden?  Handmade in the UK by a wirework designer-manufacturer, they create height and interest all year round, with the added bonus that they are beautiful with or without flowers

metal garden arch

Use archways to create a link between two different areas of your garden or to frame a view through your garden.  Anchor into the garden by planting bushy lavender around the base


metal obelisk

Try positioning three of these obelisks along a straight herbaceous bed to take the eye down the garden.  Allow annual climbers such a sweetpeas to scramble over during the summer months, then remove during the winter to show the delicate design of the obelisk


ornate wire trellis

Great to hide a less-than-pretty wall.  Again try planting up with annual climbers throughout the summer, and leave bare during the winter to show-off the ornate wirework
