Vines and Plants for Pergolas and Arbors

Covering a pergola or trellis with plants is a decorative way to embellish your outdoor living space with greenery, color and even fragrance. With a pergola, the plants will protect you from the harsh rays of the sun – in time – as well as camouflage any nearby neighbor’s view! While it’s hard to choose from among the plants that grow quickly and thrive in Colorado’s climate, here are a few climbing options for our Zone 5 summers and winters. 

THE PAREEKS: Finding Community and Comfort in Looking Glass

Hansraj “Raj” and Neha Pareek moved into the Looking Glass community in 2023 after relocating to Denver in 2019. “We started looking for homes in 2020,” Raj said. “But then prices began to rise, so we took our time. Our main goal was to find something near shopping, in a safe neighborhood with a strong sense of community—somewhere we could truly raise our family.”

Since gifts often accompany these holidays, transitions and passages, we rounded up a few ideas that go beyond the “World’s Greatest Teacher” coffee mug and a “Best DAD Ever” t-shirt!
