Arbors are a natural way to provide shade for your outdoor office, but be sure to grow a vine that is thick enough to block the sun. These concord grapes do a good job.
This dwarf conifer display shows some of the range of colors, shapes and sizes that these lovely evergreens come in. This photo was taken at Islai Nursery in Oregon a few years ago.
