Plant Ladder
The term ‘Plant Ladder’ has a few meanings, but the main one is a ladder which is designed as a feature in your garden, to put plants on. They are also known as plant ladders because they are used in plant, and for pruning plants. A plant ladder which is used for decorating a garden is something which definitely makes your garden look better. Some are designed for use inside of a house or building, whilst others are designed to stay outside. You can get Garden Ladders made of timber or metal and in hundreds of different designs. If you are someone who spends a lot of time in the garden, then you will be able to take the time to find something which looks great.
These really do look quite attractive wherever you put them, assuming that they match the other furniture and plants around them. In most cases, a Plant Ladder will sit 3 – 6 plants, but you can buy them in many different sizes. Garden Accessories are very popular throughout the world, with little bridges, gnomes, statues and many other bits and pieces which are put into the garden. What is even better is that anyone can make these up, if you have a few skills with your hands, and some basic tools. They don’t need to be designed to hold the full weight of a person meaning that you don’t have to make them incredibly strong or design them very well!
Have a look on Google for some examples of these, and then you can begin to make your own. I would suggest using a hard wood rather than a soft wood if you are going to put it outdoors. If it is going outdoors you want to seal the wood in one way or another, whether it’s by using varnish or by applying oil to the timber. Alternatively, if you are good with metal you can whip one up that is considerably lighter looking.
A Plant ladder doesn’t have to look overly functional either. Many people make them in the shape of a picnic bench, or leading up to a bird feeding tower. At the end of the day it comes down to your imagination, and what you want to do with them. Generally a Plant Ladder is not used for plants much bigger than 50 cm tall, but it depends on how you design and make the ladder. I have seen many of these that have become so overgrown that you can’t even see the ladder. This makes things interesting, as you have the plants on different levels, but you can’t see why or how it is done!
If you have a garden that needs a bit of improving, then seriously look at getting a Plant Ladder. You can pick these up from most gardening and hardware stores, and they make a great addition to your garden. Some of these can be purchased as a package which just needs setting up; something that doesn’t take very long at all!
