We’ve been following some exciting garden design trends for 2018. Here are a few of our favorite garden trends that we think have real staying power!
Terra Trellis Blog
The art of the tomato cage
One of the most delicious (and non guilty!) pleasures of summer is biting into a sweet, juicy tomato plucked fresh off the vine right from your own edible garden. All of our Terra Trellis designs are used as sculptural, super strong tomato supports, creating living works of functional art in edible garden.
Oh grow up! The magnificent benefits of vertical gardens
Growing up instead of out saves space in tight urban areas; garden structures like arbors and trellises can create drama and a sense of seclusion, or bring height and depth to small spaces.
zinc: a cool presence in the garden
We are proud to introduce our new silver finish we call “zinc". A lustrous, diamagnetic metal, zinc is found in all living organisms and is the 24th most abundant element in Earth's crust. Inspired by zinc’s timeless quality and usage, our namesake powdercoat finish is of a medium silver hue with a rich, mercury-like patina. The silvery finish of the trellis reflects the ambient light and elements of the garden. Read More>
Going Gracie in the garden!
The Gracie Modern Arbor has been making appearances in some truly remarkable landscapes. Over the years, gardeners and designers alike have kept us in the loop sharing photos of their inspired installations. Read more >
Hanging out with the birds and the bees
Since we last wrote about our Bee Bungalows and offered ideas to nurture native pollinators in the landscape, we noticed an uptick of interest and sales of our feeders and bungalows. We are thrilled that awareness is growing as to the importance of native birds and bees frequenting backyards and public gardens. Read more >
Say hello to the modern Tipi Trellis and Tomato Cage
After several years in the making, we couldn’t wait to debut our most recent trellis designs, the Annabel Tipi Trellis and the Geo Tomato Cage, at Dwell on Design in Los Angeles. This was our third year exhibiting at this giant design event, the ultimate indoor/outdoor playground for people sourcing modern living products, innovations, and ideas.
Haute Horticulture
Like fashion, gardens are now transitioning from their vibrant summer looks into the more muted tones of the fall season. Our summer was loaded with horticultural and design inspiration, bursting with color and texture from diverse landscapes coast to coast. Below is a photo journal of some magical summer moments; a mashup of images from private potager gardens, to island farms to spectacular public spaces.
TerraTrellis @Dwell on Design 2013
It was an amazing week at Dwell on Design 2013! This annual week-long event, curated by the editors of Dwell magazine, showcases the most innovative and sustainable ideas in modern design, art and architecture. This year's show was by far the best we've seen and we were thrilled to be a part of it again. It also takes place in our own hometown of Los Angeles! How lucky is that?
All choked up
It's artichoke season on California.
During a photoshoot for our new Sculptural Wildlife Habitats (Bee Bungalow, Birdy Bungalow and Birdy Cafe -blog post to come!) we stumbled upon a gorgeous un-staged scene in our edible garden studio that took our breath away. It involved a fruiting artichoke, a bougainvillea 'Orange King' an Akoris Garden Tuteur Sr. in Berry color and a Mira Garden Trellis Sr. in Aubergine color.
