Old gates

I have had an idea for my old metal gate. it is very ornate but unsightly with rust spots. So, i have planted some passion flower and cup and saucer flower plants to go up it.

thought i might inspire someone.

 

Hello GG
apparently rust iron work is now highly fashionable in gardens , with climbers weaving through them

 

Any pics GardenGuru? Good idea, recycling it a beautiful way.

cheers

 

I think Woo did something lovely with a gate on another posting somewhere

 

im afraid borrower there is nothing growing on it. But i will keep you in mind when it is blooming!!

 

Rusty iron is very sought-after these days, you should see the prices at garden shows!! I have a few rusty iron thingies myself, and I think they make a really nice frame for plants. I think your passion flowers and cobea scandens will look fab - mine will be growing up a rusty iron obilisk.
