Woody Vines for the Garden

 

Looking to dress up a boring stockade fence? Maybe soften a new stone wall? Add an elegant trellis to your garden?

Come explore the ornamental characteristics of climbers like honeysuckle, wisteria, clematis, and other lesser-known species--both native and non-native! In this lecture, you will also learn how vines climb, the support structures needed for each type of vine, best planting practices, and maintenance.
