Create a Beautiful Arbor Swing

An arbor swing can be a beautiful addition to your backyard, because not only do you get to enjoy your swing, but you get to view beautiful flowers while you swing. However, to produce the most attractive nook you can, you need to know at least a small bit about arbor gardening. Here are a few tips on what plants grow best on the swing arbor and how to grow them:
• You obviously want to grow plants that are vines on your arbor. A few beautiful and popular choices are climbing roses, wisteria, trumpet creeper, grapes, and passionflower vines.
• Be sure to place your arbor where it won’t block sunlight from other plants in your garden.
• Place the arbor in a location where your plants will receive plenty of sunlight.
• Make sure your arbor is shielded from strong winds.
• Keep the base of your plants mulched with four inches of organic mulch, so that the soil retains water better.
• Be sure to check on your plants and water them daily.
• Train the vines to climb up the arbor. You might need to purchase weatherproof garden twine to tie them to your arbor as they grow.
If you follow these simple suggestions, you can basically guarantee that your backyard will boast a beautiful arbor.
