Gardens have been used as symbols of happiness since the Garden of Eden. Whether or not such a place actually existed, the perception has persisted. The expression, ?a garden of earthly delights,? signifies utopia or nirvana; and a blissful romance is referred to as ?a rose garden.? A garden is associated with a flourishing vegetation, healthy life, abundance, and fertility. Gardens have been essential parts of every culture, from ancient China, Japan, and Egypt, to Greece and Rome, with the most lavish examples belonging to the aristocracy; and arbors were important elements in all of these gardens.With distinct architectural components unique to each country, arbors were used everywhere for providing shade, supporting the growth of grapes and other fruits, displaying climbing flowers, and affording privacy. They were also frequently used to create complex labyrinths for the amusement ? and bemusement ? of royal guests on castle grounds, where their fairytale allure was especially striking.Today, arbors are even more popular than they were centuries ago, because they are no longer found only in the gardens of the well-to-do. In fact, these magnificent, versatile structures can instantly add an air of enchantment to the most ordinary gardens. Furthermore, whether you have a green thumb, or you're all thumbs, an arbor can make you look like a master gardener and landscaper.
