Climbing plants are usually a popular favorite amongst people with gardens, as they can look amazing, and they also come in handy.
Mainly, because they can be planted so that they grow over fences and vertical structures, providing a better cover for privacy from the neighbors. But also, just because they make any wall or structure all the more magical and enchanting!
