IDEAS FOR MAKING MORE OF
YOUR GARDEN THIS SPRING
Raised beds form the base for planting climbers that will grow up the tensioned wires strung across the pergola.
Try this idea for creating a green
screen in your garden:
An established customer of
Jacksons, Nick Arrowsmith, sent
these photos in so we could see
what good use he has put our
raised beds with a single pergola
to. I think it is a brilliant idea, and
must admit it had not occurred to
me to use these in this particular
way. You can see from the images
that the two raised beds form the
base for the single pergola above.
By using tensioned wire as supports
for the clematis and wisteria he has
planted in the raised beds, he will
eventually end up with a totally
green screen, which will enhance
the privacy for the dining area he
has created in this part of his
garden. Here’s what he told me
about the project:
time ago, I know – and here they
are. I used tensioned stainless steel
wires in between the upright posts
to allow the plants to climb. These
are available to buy online. The one
I used was a surface mounted
balustrade wire kit. It's great that
it's made from stainless steel – so
no rusting, and it should last ages,
just like your products.
I think it finished the pergola
off really well and they are a more
discreet finish than wooden trellis
panels. We've planted one wisteria
in each planter and then filled each
one with two different varieties of
clematis.
I really can't wait until we get
the green screen we're hoping for.
Your products are lovely and of
such good quality; we're really
pleased with the overall look. Please
let me know what you think!
Hi Louise,
I promised you images of our
pergola and raised beds – some
