Now my next project is to choose some climbing plants to cover the top and provide shade, fragrance, and colorful flowers. Wisteria is the classic vine for an arbor or pergola but requires a lot of pruning to keep it under control. Other options are honeysuckle, trumpet vines, jasmine, roses, and clematis. I'm leaning toward a mixture of climbing rose and clematis.

That is fantastic Bill and what a wonderful addition to an already beautiful garden. Enjoy choosing your climbers :-)
I am so looking forward to moving into my new apt. (hopefully in the next month) and, although the grounds are tended, I have my own little bit of patio area and I'm wanting a bird feeder. How funny, I never thought I'd get excited over something so mundane as a bird feeder!!!!
Looks beautiful. One the vines and flowers get into the mix, it'll be heavenly. Enjoy iy!
The pergola is a great addition to your garden! Whatever you choose as a climber will look terrific in your already lovely yard.
Bill,
I want to thank you for posting this and it was our pleasure to build / install a pergola that not only gives you and Susan a place to enjoy your great backyard but that blends in with it as well. I hope you guys make many memories while enjoying your "new" outdoor living area.
Thanks,
Cole M.
