Looking to dress up a boring stockade fence? Maybe soften a new stone wall? Add an elegant trellis to your garden? In this webinar, Jen Kettell explores the ornamental characteristics of climbing plants such as clematis, honeysuckle, wisteria and several lesser-known species - both native and non-native. Participants will learn how vines climb, the support structures needed for each type of vine, best planting practices, and maintenance.
