Vines are astonishingly imposing - it turns out plants can be this powerful too

The humanistic expression of a garden is not only about beauty, but also about imposing presence. Imposing presence is a kind of strength and power expressed by garden life, and it is a realm in garden appreciation. Anything, as long as it is united, structured, and scaled up, gains presence.

Vines refer to plants with slender stems that cannot grow upright on their own and must climb upward by attaching to other objects. According to the texture of their stems, they are divided into herbaceous vines (such as hyacinth bean, morning glory, kidney bean, etc.) and woody vines. According to their climbing method, there are twining vines (such as wisteria, honeysuckle, fleeceflower), adhesive vines (such as Chinese trumpet creeper, Boston ivy, Virginia creeper) and tendril vines (such as loofah, gourd, grape), and trailing vines (such as rose, banksia rose, climbing rose).

Vines have always been a commonly used plant material in garden making. Today, the area available for landscape greening is becoming smaller and smaller. Making full use of climbing plants for vertical greening is an important way to expand green space, increase urban green volume, raise the overall level of greening, and improve the ecological environment.
