Hello green thumbs! Are you ready for summer? I have a wonderful and easy idea for you in your garden with bougainvillea.
These crawling climbers are so pretty and when trained to grow against a lattice they provide shade!
You will need: A sunny spot in your garden with a lattice or trellis for growing, bougainvillea plants, pretty pots, potting soil and green gardening tape.
Step #1-Simply plant your bougainvillea in its pot.
Step#2-Position the pot near the lattice wood
Step #3-Tie the plant to the wood with the gardening tape
(The point of using the green tape is because the tape stretches and moves along with the plant as it grows)
Don’t forget to water your plants about every other day!
Knowing is Growing!

Thank you for the green tape tip. I just bought some bougainvillea and was going to tie it with string.
Hi Laurie! I’m glad you found the green tape to be helpful. Do you plan to post your finished project? I’d love to see it! Thanks for stopping by my Make Shoppe.

I hope to : )
Ahhh that’s SUCH a good idea! I can even do that on my terras! I can’t really have a garden, but I can add some color all over my wall this way.
NO garden? No problem! It seems that you have it figured out. Take pictures along the way…I’d love to see the progress!
