when we first moved to our house (three years ago today!), there was a tangled but beautiful rose bush precariously pulled back against the porch with a flimsy and small metal trellis. it did not take long for this mess to spill over the gravel, shortening the driveway by more than half. the thorns grabbed at our clothes each time we rolled our bikes past. we were also unable to keep disease and pests under control in this state. the trellises available for purchase were either the wrong size or too expensive. in order to keep this bush, we needed a low-cost diy solution. building simple cedar frames filled with mesh fencing ended up being the answer.

Their design cousin, Bellavaz, are modular self-watering planters with which one can get creative, arranging them in various patterns and shapes.
