Garden arbors, arches, obelisks and garden mirrors help to create focal points and interest in the garden. An arch or arbor can create a shady tunnel that leads to new part of the garden. A garden obelisk can be a focal point, visible from many parts of the garden, a climbing frame for a rose or clematis, in the vegetable garden as a support for tomatoes or climbing beans or used as means of marking time. Garden mirrors create an illusion or feeling of depth and can be great features in courtyards or smaller gardens.

Arbors, Garden Arches, Bowers, Mirrors & Obelisks
       





A Garden Obelisk can a simple, (see left) timber construction, perhaps constructed from found branches and bound with willow. Or an obelisk may handcrafted from metal, timber or stone, or perhaps even a mirrored obelisk.

Obelisks date back to Babylonian times and were originally used as a means of time-keeping, really just a very big sundial. In the garden, obelisks can be used as a climbing frame for roses, clematis, beans and such, as a focal point or as a means or marking time, perhaps casting a shadow on specific plants to mark the seasons, or even anniversaries.

Extremely popular in the UK and USA hand crafted obelisks are now finding a place in the Australian Garden. Looking for something special for the gard en? Try a spectacular hand crafted obelisk made from metal, stone, timber or glass.

Looking for a great garden project to complete with the kids, try found objects bound with willow.
