Arboria Trellis Columns
Trellises are great for adding structure and height to your gardens. Arboria Trellis Columns not only give plants a place to grow, but they also have a top shelf, so you can set a garden decoration or another plant on top. They come in different heights, 20, 30, 40, or 72 inches, so you can combine them to create different displays. They are made with rich Mahogany hardwood and can be used indoors or outdoors. If you need a trellis, go a step farther and try an Arboria Trellis Column!

Insects
Bugs, insects, critters, creepy crawlies, vermin, pests, whatever! No matter what you call them, they are all the same thing, and they are still everywhere! All the world’s insects weigh more than all the people and land animals combined! That’s a lot of bugs! The thing about bugs however, is that very few are actually harmful. In fact, less than 10% of bugs are destructive. The other 90% are either helpful or benign.
Fun Insect Facts:
- Of the 35,000 species of spiders, only 27 species are known to have caused human fatalities
