Garden Arbor, Trellis, and Vertical Planting System
June 3, 2012 by Robin Plaskoff Horton
I’m smitten by Parisian designer Thomas Grenier’s à Partager–a vertical planting system and arbor that integrates both potted plants and vines. Seed, sow, and shade yourself with this great multifunctional design for any size outdoor space or garden.
Its bent varnished plywood frame and laser cut galvanized sheet metal trellis support flower boxes made of either food-safe thermoformed Vivak or geotextile felt pockets similar to Woolly Pockets.
As an arbor, one could cultivate a vertical garden while at the same time creating shade beneath it for seating or dining.
Maybe even add some tiny lights for an illuminated evening outdoors?

Are you hearing confessions today? Yup ok here goes… I hate it… sorry to be so blunt! It looks a tad DIY for my liking and I hate the fact that aesthetically it just doesn’t make the grade On the plus side the idea is fantastic but needs to go back to the drawing board for me I’m afraid 🙁

A bit too modern for my taste, however the concept could be used with hickory boughs bent in a steam tub.
I’ll bet my Mennonite friends could craft one for me.
