Pergola

A hanging garden require support and what can be better than a pergola to support your vines and hanging plants? Besides it is a great space-saving way to have both a garden and a patio in one place. Pergola has a structure of a trellis so you can easily plant any crawling plants as well as hang a few flower pots if you want to add a pop of color to your garden.
