To fence or not to fence

Instead of a solid fence, this gardener used an open net of wires and vines to create a visual barrier that still allows this space to breathe. It also keeps this shady space from becoming too dark. This photo was taken in a private garden in Oakland, California.

    Having that open net, wire fence certainly gives that space some breathing room as well as light. Thanks for sharing.

    What is the point of putting in so many hours and work in a garden if you cannot sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor? Well done job!
