Arbor as focal point......

I had an expanse in the corner of the backyard that needed something in the way of a focal point. I noticed a large arbor set up at Sam's Club back in April and decided that it might fill the bill in that area. I bought it boxed, then came the challenge of screwing it together out on the patio. I dragged it over to the bed and set it upright and started placing container plants and baskets under, around, and on it. The arbor works as a focal point in that corner of the yard and acts as something of a frame that I can arrange plants around. The pots of white impatiens are beginning to go somewhat dormant in the summer heat and not blooming as well, so I might change those out soon for some more heat and sun tolerant plants.....
