Our obelisks are excellent additions to gardens big and small. Here we explore why, and how you can use an obelisk to breathe new life into your green space just in time for spring.
Put simply, a garden obelisk is a trellis that is crafted into a spire shape. Obelisks can be made from wood (including willow) or metal. Their conical design offers more than just an eye-catching feature for borders and patios however.
Obelisks offer excellent and elegant support for a wide range of climbing plants, including roses, clematis, jasmine and ivy.
Obelisks are also popularly used to support herbaceous perennials, and can even be used to grow fruits and vegetables. Whatever your foliage of choice, you’re guaranteed a beautiful, fully supported and inspiring display thanks to the obelisk.
With an obelisk, you have more freedom to position plants within your garden. Instead of sticking to walls and fences, climbing foliage can be displayed along paths and across patios to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the garden. Borders can also be enhanced with obelisks, with their height adding a new dimension to your displays.
If increasing privacy in your garden is your mission for spring, obelisks can be used to screen certain areas of your outdoor space.
