Recycled Lumber = Arbor

Roy, Ryan and Forest building the frame.

 

Selene adding twigs to the arbor frame

Dan adding artistic touches to the arbor

finished product

reduce, reuse, repurpose.

we truly live by those words on the farm. A few trees needed to be limbed so we could get the sun to stream in, and we had a couple of trees fall down this past winter. Now, those trees and branches are a beautiful Rivendellesque arbor.

What should we plant on it? 

leave any ideas in the comments…

    Beautiful reuse of branches!!! A very pretty arbor! How about growing pole beans on it. Then it will be beautiful and edible!
