Vines are a green way to add an accent to the exterior of your home or an outdoor living area. They will literally crawl up along the walls or pillars to cover them like a coat of paint. Decorating with vines adds texture, color, and a sense of coziness that is unique to them.

There are several different types of vines, bogan villa typically being the most popular, so it’s important to consult with a landscaper or gardening expert to make the right choice for your climate and home.
