Create traditional effects with fast-growing climbers and wire frames

This book shows you how to create effective architectural shapes in an amazingly short time - sometimes in just a few hours.

Using the ready-made frames which are now available in a wide variety of shapes, and quick-growing climbers and creepers such as ivy, jasmine and sedum, you can create animals, geometric shapes, birds or designs for special occasions. You can even make your own wire frames, quickly and eaily.

Following the step-by-step instructions given, you can adapt classic topiary forms, such as standards and spirals, using modern methods. This book shows you how to cheat, but still achieve stunning results!

Topics include:

• quicker growing alternatives to box and yew
• using more than one plant for bushiness
• clipping fully-grown plants in your garden
• winding climbers around poles for instant standards.
