My Roman Columns

Years ago my neighbor in the mansion put in new columns. She gave me the old ones.

Nothing gets a gardener with an artistic bend more excited than old columns, especially if the paint is cracked in unusual patterns. One can do so many interesting things in the garden with columns.

I put vinca vine in a container on top of the column. I love the way it trails down the column.

At Christmas, I will often put garland around the columns .
