Garden Arbors and Swings: Dreaming of Spring

As the grey still hangs on, and some folks even battle shoveling snow, the gardener begins to dream of spring. The seed catalogs have already arrived, been thumbed through, lists of seeds made, the vegetable garden for Spring/Summer 2005 all mapped out. A list of any tools that need replacing is already clipped to the garden plan. What else can we do on these long winter nights that are already getting shorter?

Dream of how to enjoy the garden greenery once it arrives! Dream of lazy afternoons in the garden with the laptop connected via wireless to the blog, ahhhhh. Add a mint julip sitting icily nearby… sitting where?

Sitting on your gorgeus all-in-one garden arbor with swing!

Plan around a garden arbor!

  • For lazy afternoons, place your garden arbor in a spot that will be shady. Buy and plant flowers that will do well in semi-shade so that your arbor is well decorated with nature’s gift of abundance. Scented geraniums are fantastic for such a spot. You’ll have delicious scents wafting on the breeze, delicate blooms to contemplate, and they’re easy to care for, too!
  • Plan to face your garden arbor in the direction of a well orchestrated show of flowers in your yard. While you will want your seat in the shade, you can view the glory of your jasmine vine climbing the garden wall, your sunflower patch nodding gracefully in the breeze, or put in your direct line of site some garden fountains and ponds. A simple fountain in the sun will relax you and add the cooling sound of running water.
  • Get a Brinkman Gas Grill or Smoker and cook out from the comfort of your arbor swing! Take full advantage of your summer evenings and cook outdoors, making your garden arbor the center of attraction.
