At the Vesper Hill Chapel garden in Rockport, Maine, a simple bamboo trellis is used to serve as a visual end to this garden space. It's a simple way to add interest and boundary without spending a lot of money.

Welcome to the Fine Gardening Garden Photo of the Day blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get new posts delivered to your inbox each morning, so you'll always remember to take a look. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to mgervais@taunton.com with GPOD in the subject line. We'll only respond if we plan to use your photo.

Enclosure- fences, hedges, walls- they all make such an important difference in garden design!Visually, they provide a different material and a different, flat, vertical spatial element that can serve as a frame and backdrop to the plant material and also as a surface on which to introduce artistic decorative elements. The more intimate a garden space, the more impact it can have on the visitor, providing an unconscious sense of security and enabling one to filter out all the minutiae of the 'big picture' and focus on fewer elements,settling into more calm and a more memorable experience.
