I am one of those people that loves looking at landscaping magazines and dream about how wonderful my gardens would look with defined paths and trellises winding their way around the property. Whenever I drive by Mr Pinkham’s house I look at his garden trellis that is covered with beautiful climbing roses and I find myself wishing that I had a green thumb like he does!

The only time I had my own experience with a trellis it was when my hubby gave one to me. It was an archway and he and put it up over the end of the sidewalk that leads to the house. Since there were no flowers of any kind there I felt it was a little bit out of place. He told me that he was going to plant some vines on it, but that never happened. Since it was made out of wood and he never painted it or did anything with it, it rotted in short order. I ended up having it taken down and hauled away after my hubby moved away. I’d like to try my hand again at it, but with a vinyl trellis that won’t rot, and I’d like to put it at the entrance to one of my gardens.
