Here are a few easy ideas if you (or your husband) are slightly clever at wood working and want to keep a few dollars in the wallet to buy more plants. If you would like more specific directions I would be happy to help, just let me know.
This is a Corner trellis. The store had an nice rounded curve, but I didn't want to spend lots of time and it wouldn't have looked nice either. The plant (I used a honeysuckle and a hardy jasmine) goes in the raised bed and climbs the trellis.
1) Cut base boards to equal lengths (I used 1.5') Screw the pieces together to make a solid base.
2) Screw 1X1 Corner brace onto base.
3) Mount trellis pieces to base at bottom and onto 1 X 1 on side for support.
Project #2
This is a vertical planter. I saw it in either a magazine or website, I can't remember, but it is easy to make.
1) cut pvc into 4' length. I ran a 1/2 down the middle so that water will get to the entire planter.
2) cut 1 1/2" holes at equal lengths in pvc.
3) mount pvc to base using a toilet mount.
4) add dirt and plants!
