| Last summer I really enjoyed my combination of butterfly bush and hibiscus. It added a little height in a too flat garden. Thanks for the pole idea. You could fit that in anywhere. |

| I loved your article! Thank you for sharing some beautiful pictures and ideas. I have a "rickety" old ladder I have added, some kitchen chairs & recycled posts to mount birdhouses on. At a previous house, I had a beautiful arbor my Dad made for me out of rebar. I had him leave ONE post really long & welded a metal Pixie to the tip. On Trash to Treasure their is a cool arch made out of an old trampoline hardware. So many ideas... so little time! |

| I found a great aid in using cheap tiki-torch stakes as stake bases! It will allow you to use heavier dowel rods to create supports. they're about $1 at WalMart, and lumber stores can cut dowels to any height you want. I paint mine and mount bird houses on the top. To create more climbing room, I attach pieces of green wire fencing to the dowels w/a staple gun. |
