Sometimes the most beautiful things are also the most useful.

This flowering espalier—the Clematis—bursts into bloom early in spring, covering walls with delicate white flowers and a wonderfully sweet scent. Even in winter it holds on to its green presence, quietly preparing for the next season.

But it’s more than just beautiful. Plants like these play an important role in supporting life around us. Bees, bumblebees, and butterflies are drawn to the flowers, turning a simple wall into a small but thriving ecosystem. And when grown against a house, they can even help regulate temperature, reducing direct sunlight in summer and buffering cold winds in winter.

A natural layer between us and the elements.

Nu med indgangsportal😯
Der er meget strikse regler om hække i vores kolonihaveforening.
Det har taget et par år, at få højden hævet fra 110 til 140 på den årlige generalforsamling.
I år har jeg så fået lov til at lave en bue over havelågen. Det skal ende med at ligusterhækken danner en portal/bue. Men indtil da, har jeg nu sat et pileflet espalier til at sætte formen.
Jeg bruger disse espalier forskellige steder i haven til ærter, bønner og Lathyrus. Jeg synes, at de er geniale og fleksible, og portalen er lige mig

Unha copiña de #rakija antes da cea. En Serbia hai ameixeiras a eito, disque do tipo "collón de frade" ou quizais coma os quetsche de Alemaña. Hai viño, pero a augardente máis común é destilada destas ameixas e algunhas hortas teñen as árbores en ringleiras, podadas en #espalier, coma as viñas.
