My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

plant houses/play area

24 years ago

I love all the ideas I have been reading about plant house/teepees. I want to do one for my daughter> suggestions and directions, anyone? We live in z7> Virginia. Which bean/vine works best? Attracts the fewest bugs & bees? Most resilient to a little love/abuse? How much space is needed? How long til playarea was grown/ can I start plants inside to help?...questions, comments, suggestions......Much appreciated! Kim
