yes, I guess the pergola is fairly common ~ your typical pergola. You're right theirs was esp. nice because of the free-standing feature and all the gorgeous plantings.

I'm not the handy one in our family when it comes to building things, but I'm hoping my mother or husband will build us one :) also free-standing, but close to the house and much shorter in length.

There were also some supports for climbers in the veggie garden at Longwood. These branches were in the typical t-pee shape, but had string wrapped around them, making it easier for the plants to climb. I've made bamboo t-pees before but never with the string, so I'm going to try that this year.

oops edited to say branches not bamboo in the photo, I usually use bamboo here at home!
