Definition: A vertical structure in a landscape that can provide shelter, privacy, or act as an accent. It can also blend or separate different garden areas, direct traffic, and support plants. An arbor can be attached to a residence or freestanding. While similar in structure, an arbor is major, while a trellis is smaller and more delicate. Arbors can be made from wood or wrought iron, and can be made or bought at a garden center or an online catalog.
