Garden Fort

Climbing plant teepee
Gardeners can create an aesthetically-pleasing addition to their garden that also serves as a fort by making a willow dome or living teepee structure made from sticks and interwoven branches. Climbing plants grow over the structure, creating a lush space curtained by greenery and flowers. It’s easy and affordable, requiring only twine, branches and a little patience. They may not keep the rain completely out, but climbing plants do well in rainy climates, so these shelters will be especially lush when the wet season is in full swing.

My own son loved to help create his little fort outside. We had a blast decorating it with fake flowers during the non- flowering seasons and he loved to fill it with his outdoor toys.
