Built in 1838, our antebellum home and 19th century gardens are a step into the past.

A New Arbor
We needed some more structure added to our 2 leveled kitchen garden. Trying to be cost effective and combined with my average carpentry skills, we decided on a rustic cedar arbor. I had access to some cedar trees that I could get appropiate sized "lumber". Michelle was a big help as this was one of the chores that required more than 2 hands. I set the posts by drilling a hole in the stone steps and driving a 5/8" pin 30" in the bottom of the post. Once I got the posts up, and steady, I was on my way. Michelle has planted climbing rose at the base that will hide some of my clumsy joints! We look forward to enjoying the show for many years to come.
