GARDENING BITS AND PIECES
It is Saturday in Palmerston North, and while I am writing this,
nice showers are wetting the soil and plants are growing in response.

Treillage is the term for the classic structural elements in a formal garden or living space.  These
can take the form of trellised walls or enclosures, arbours, gazebos,
pavilions, colonades or free-standing structures such as planters,
obelisks and other individually designed features. Treillage structures
also give a sophistication and beauty to indoor areas such as entrance
areas, foyers and lobbies. Wall panels based on classic designs
can be used in smaller gardens, patios, apartment balconies and gardens
to enhance planting or be stand alone features. Michael Grace will
personally discuss with you the design, construction and installation
of any size or style of Treillage structure, in a garden or indoor
setting. More...Mahogany 2m Circular Tree Seat
