Trellises are a device used to help support climbing plants that otherwise cannot support themselves or do better when given the room that trellises provide rather than laying on the ground. Other types of supports can be known as pergola or arbors, which with small differences are still a form of support for plants to grow on in the garden. There are multitudes of different methods and designs you can use ranging from simple to advanced. Many trellis options can be purchased at your local plant store or can be DIY created with materials you might already have laying around. We want to show you some options that can give some inspiration to you gardening space and can be looked into for different plant needs. Here are some suggestions in each of the three categories, split mainly by cost and complexity.

No matter what you choose, remember to allow yourself space to trim, train, and grow with the trellis. Also, don’t expect to have a perfectly filled in trellis right off the bat or even in the first few years, this is a slow growing process that is meant to maintain the plants and give them room to really bloom.
