Arbors Provide Portals to Paradise

Gardens have been used as symbols of happiness since the
Garden of Eden. Whether or not such a place actually
existed, the perception has persisted. The expression, "a
garden of earthly delights," signifies utopia or nirvana;
and a blissful romance is referred to as "a rose garden." A
garden is associated with a flourishing vegetation, healthy
life, abundance, and fertility. Gardens have been essential
parts of every culture, from ancient China, Japan, and
Egypt, to Greece and Rome, with the most lavish examples
belonging to the aristocracy; and arbors were important
elements in all of these gardens.
With distinct architectural components unique to each
country, arbors were used everywhere for providing shade,
supporting the growth of grapes and other fruits, displaying
climbing flowers, and affording privacy. They were also
frequently used to create complex labyrinths for the
amusement ~ and bemusement ~ of royal guests on castle
grounds, where their fairytale allure was especially
striking.
Today, arbors are even more popular than they were centuries
ago, because they are no longer found only in the gardens of
the well-to-do. In fact, these magnificent, versatile
structures can instantly add an air of enchantment to the
most ordinary gardens. Furthermore, whether you have a
green thumb, or you're all thumbs, an arbor can make you
look like a master gardener and landscaper. Just put it in
place, plant some climbing flowers, ivies, or vines nearby,
and let nature take over. Before long, it will come alive
with brilliant color, transforming your garden into your own
personal paradise.
