Adding a few trellises to my landscape, instantly transformed my garden from a veggie producing patch to a wondrous new world. Vertical gardening also allows me to produce a lot more vegetables, flowers, and herbs without having to add in more growing space.

Beckon birds, pollinators and all sorts of wondrous critters by creating your very own wildlife nook and watering hole. And right now is the perfect time to set up your space as the pollinators and wildlife begin to migrate back to your area. It’s easy to create and will provide endless enjoyment for both your wildlife pals and you!
