Stylish and practical designs for any garden space.

A garden arch is a great addition to any outside space. It can be used for everything from supporting plants and encouraging wildlife to acting as a purely decorative feature - with garden arches available in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes.

So, just how can you add a garden arch to your space to turn it into a flora and fauna oasis? "Once clothed with plants, garden arches are a multi-level wildlife haven for birds, beneficial insects, invertebrates, and amphibians," says Morris Hankinson, Director of Hopes Grove Nurseries. "They can be wisely utilised, particularly in smaller spaces, to section your plot off into different areas or ‘rooms’ or to highlight areas such as entrances or seating areas."

If you're wondering what design or material to opt for when choosing a garden arch, Morris encourages people to think about the ideal look and feeling you want to achieve in your space. "The choice is very much dictated by the setting," he says. "Arches are available in a good variety of materials so there is sure to be an arch that fits your design, perhaps formed from chestnut, woven hazel or willow — or something much more contemporary such as Corton Steel. You can even use upcycled and reclaimed materials such as weldmesh or scaffolding. The latter choices are more typical of a modern urban setting, with natural materials being more appropriate for a cottage garden look."

Once you've chosen your garden arch - the fun part begins: choosing what to plant! Morris recommends anything from English climbing Roses to wisteria and clematis for a classic look and to consider the seasonality of the flowers you choose, recommending Star Jasmine for the summer months.
