However, if you live in a new subdivision, chances are that you create more shade than the saplings planted there and the only other shade is the neighbor’s house, usually where you don’t want it. If you are willing to invest the money and time in care, a large tree can be trans- planted into the yard to cre- ate a shady spot in a few years as opposed to decades. In Canada, a tree with a maximum caliper or trunk diameter of 25 cm can be across the gar- den over the course of a day “ oe vou vould like th GARDEN ‘2 GRACES shade to be in roots have a to ground. selection of = . the garden. Decide if the tree is for sit- ting under or to shade the house on a hot day. Hire a reputable landscap- er or contractor and tree grower since trees this size may not be-guaranteed if they die.

If transplanting a large tree isn’t possible due to the cost or space restrictions, a shady oasis can be built. Arbors, pergolas and gaze- bos draped with vines and framed with potted flowers create an inviting place to Test from the sun and view the world. These can be rus- tic retreats built from rough- hewn logs to fanciful Victorian confections to Stately stone pillars with large crossbeams. There is a style to suit everyone’s home and personal taste. They can be built from scratch or bought ready to assemble from building stores or spe- cialty garden centres. Most vines create a dense enough cover to keep out all but the heaviest downpours but if you want something totally weatherproof, awning _ fabric or a proper roof can be used. Fast-growing annual vines include the morning glories, purple cup flower, scarlet runner beans and poe or squash vines for a dual purpose vine. Perennial vines include clematis, vir- ginia creeper, sweet-scented honeysuckles and wisteria, the positively rampant silver lace vine, dutchman’s pipe (zone 6), trumpet creeper and, for the do-it-yourself wine-maker, hardy grapes. In the meantime, you can always buy a patio umbrella.
