It’s hard to believe my eyes when I look out on my garden as fall takes over. What was full of life has now turned to the vibrant colors of fall that will soon fall to the ground in mass and leave openness in its place. Last year I decided that I needed to rethink my garden space because it looked so dreary during the winter months. I wanted to create some structure that would be there year round and give some height and balance to the overall scenery. My choice was a wonderful garden pergola made from natural western red cedar.
I installed it in the spring with some help from one of my male friends who is skilled in that kind of thing. It was much easier than I had anticipated and certainly fulfilled the purpose I had bought it for. I planted some climbing vines that created a beautiful canopy for both the side and top during late spring and throughout the summer. Now the vines have exposed the character of the plant itself and I can hardly wait to see what amazing things the snow and ice will do to enhance the winter solace. I am so glad that I looked at garden pergolas to make my choice. The yard that was, a year ago, bleak and bare, is now shaping up to be quite fantastic no matter what the season.
