Reaching New Heights: Trellises Elevate Your Gardening Game

Growing greenery on a garden trellis - whether in the form of a fruit, flower or vegetable - not only provides weight support for our denser plantings, but can also make it easier to harvest product, allow easier access to pollinators, and provide a barrier for any four-legged foes that want to snack on the fruits of your labor.

In addition to offering a variety of eco-friendly raised garden beds, you can find Vego Garden wall and arched trellises in the Add-Ons tab. We also have rolling and self-watering mini planters with trellises for gardeners looking to maximize small or indoor gardening spaces.

In case you missed it, in Part 1 of our Trellis series, learn more about the most popular climbing vegetables.
