Charles Darwin was fascinated with climbing plants and even wrote a piece on On the Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants. Through years of evolution climbers have realised that growing upwards saves energy and helps to compete with other plants for sun. also this method requires very little space and due to the pungent aromatic smells insects love to visit.

There are many species of climbers to benefit every garden from evergreen climbers like Clematis armandii, to fragrant climbers such as Jasmine there truly is something for every situation.

the royal horticultral society says….

“Growing plants on house walls makes your home more energy efficient. Wall plants, especially evergreens, provide an extra layer of insulation that keeps homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Evergreen plants can also protect against rainfall and other harsh weather conditions eroding brickwork”
