• When new web pages and updates are available on the site.
• Keeps you up-to-date with new postings or news. It might be a new pergola plan, a not-to-be-missed, fantasic offer on a particular tool, or beautiful plant that I really must tell you about!
• Gives information on landscaping projects that I have done for clients, which will give you an insight into pergola designs and ideas, or garden landscaping in general.
• Lets you know when my 'Love Gardening' Ezine articles are sent out (in case you don't like to give your e-mail address, or through over-filtering, causing you to miss an issue)!

Attached Lean-To Pergola Plans

Hoping to get some attached pergola (somtimes called a lean-to pergola) plans up fairly soon. Many have asked for them already.

If all goes to plan, I will be able to make a video recording of the pergola being made, which should be fun!

Usually I am too busy building to record anything. So this will be a first.

Will keep you posted.

New Pergola Pictures

I've put some new pergola pictures on my home page to help you with ideas and inspiration.

It was such great fun building them, at the time. The sense of achievement is really fantastic, especially when the climbing plants begin to take hold.

I love going back to the gardens to take pictures. The most rewarding part is knowing that the pergolas are giving such pleasure, as well as seeing the plants develop.

For a relatively small amount of time and effort, a pergola really does earn its place in the garden.

Hope you enjoy them!

Two Pergola Plans In One

Have been working hard to get these plans to you, so you can enjoy your wonderful new pergola over the coming summer months!

They can be used either as a pergola arch, acting as a fabulous walkway, with a beautiful and fragrant display of climbing plants, or as a cosy arbour under which to relax and unwind.

Here's hoping you have great fun building either one - or both!

Did you see this lovely metal pergola?

If you missed this one and are looking for a walkway metal pergola kit to join two parts of your garden or to run along a path, it is worth taking a look.

It's probably so popular because of its beautifully intricate design and because it's rare to find a metal pergola that is so long!
