The Vertical Plane

What is happening on the walls of your garden? The vertical plane is a powerful thing, since it has the authority of creating lovely, unique, comfortable space.

Traditional walls would include a fence, hedge, trellis, brick wall or even the side of your house or garage.

Perhaps an old window, glass blocks, tree trunks, free standing vine structures and the list is as endless as our imagination.
