Wow 1AnjL, That is a huge wall. Climbing vines can be destructive to mortar that's probably why CalTrans complains but I would image that there are a lot of areas where wild vines grow all over those walls. I see something climbing up the side of it is that the Trumpet Vine? What a beautiful sun filled garden, where are you going to put your chicken coop and hostas?
I've had my arbor lighted for years by a green extension cord that just snaked thru the grass and would occasionally get cut with the mower. Then last year when we redid the Lamppost bed (you'll see pics of that later) I had the guys extend the underground power out to the Arbor. It's really nice.
Creeping fig is one of my favorites. I've seen quite a few beautiful brick walls with creeping fig when traveling. This is a favorite pic of mine taken in Savannah S.C. Brick walled private garden with wrought iron gate and lighted arch. Open just enough to get a peek into a lovely garden.
