Little effort, great impact: Wild vines, ivy, and honeysuckle transform dreary walls into vibrant spaces. Clematis, wisteria, and climbing roses create a romantic atmosphere in the garden with their floral splendor. When planted correctly in the right location and provided with suitable climbing aids, climbing plants can expand green areas in small gardens with minimal maintenance. Bees, butterflies, birds, and bats will appreciate the new habitats and abundant food sources. Climbing plants also protect house walls from wind and weather, keep the foundation dry, and improve the climate. Their positive effects can also be utilized in energetically renovated old buildings, thermally insulated new constructions, or buildings with wooden cladding. Garden planner Brigitte Kleinod explains step by step how to design house and garage walls, garden pavilions, and bare areas.
