When we travel, I often look for garden inspirations. On one of our trips to Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, I took a few photos of an arbor room in the gardens. Using this as an inspiration, you can either purchase or build an arbor. Within a few years, a sense of enclosure can be created. Two garden benches serve as seating for conversation, but you can easily create an intimate dining spot using a bistro table and chairs. Pea gravel or mulch can be used for the garden room floor while climbing roses or vines can be used to create a ceiling. Evergreen shrubs and tall ornamental grasses can provide privacy for the walls, while perennials and annuals provide blooms, fragrance and punches of color.All company names or products mentioned are registered trademarks/copyrights owned by those respective companies.
