Dress Up a Wall or Fence

Dress up walls and fences with planters, garden art and upcycled items.

Old bed springs provide a unique support for a morning glory, adding a bit of greenery to this brick wall. While these vines provide shade and screening for a chicken coop.

A bit more information: Put the artist in your life to work creating a masterpiece on a section of your fence or wall of a shed. It could create a visual extension of your garden or serve as a focal point that reflects your personality.
