A beautiful garden that looks at its best all year round is the result of three separate factors: decent plant and flower selections, thoughtful siting and, perhaps less obviously, high quality flower supports. Even the most carefully curated borders need some level of scaffolding, and the beautifully crafted set of three small Chedworth Obelisks will certainly meet all your needs at this vital stage of garden design.
Many popular varieties of plants and flowers naturally tend towards the wild, and require structured support in order for them to appear at their most aesthetically pleasing. Whether you are planning a fragrant herbaceous border, a wall of climbing roses, or even hope to grow vegetables such as runner beans, if you leave your planting scheme to its own devices it will tend naturally to sprawl wildly, which might not be exactly the overall effect you are after. Fret not though, because with a bit of planning, you can nip this in the bud by installing a range of high quality supports such as these from the Chedworth Collection, thus ensuring your garden will grow and mature in a controlled manner.
The main thing to remember is to try and support any plants that need a bit of help as early as possible in the growing calendar. It is essential to try and avoid damaging newly emerged growth or shoots. The optimum time to add in your new supports is during the early spring, as you carry out your routine preparatory work for the new season. Any time after this point, you are likely to find that your plants have undergone a growth spurt, making them much harder to work with.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to approach supporting flowers and other plants: to prevent and to fix. If you are planting varieties that are known to flop (for example the pretty but temperamental double peony), the aim is to add support before the plant is of a size to need it. By doing so, you should ensure that the plant will grow within and around the support, resulting in an integrated effect that is very pleasing indeed to the eye. Conversely, you can also add support after the fact, should you notice a problem that needs remedial action, such as a plant that has drooped unexpectedly.
There are three main plant support designs: the concealed, the ornamental and the rustic. Hidden supports may include trellis support or wires to tie in more exuberant climbers. Once the plant or flower they support is fully mature, they become camouflaged amongst the growth.
Ornamental supports are normally made from wood or metal, and are an ideal way to add structure to your outside space, particularly during the winter months when growth is inevitably less pronounced. This highly desirable set of three small Chedworth Obelisks in staggered sizes are presented in a delightful rustic metal finish, with attractive finial that will grace any garden. Metal supports are far more durable than their wooden counterpart, and they look more stylish too.
Great set of Obelisks
18 May 2018 by: Jean SmithReally pleased with this sturdy, good looking set of obelisks. Unfortunately the finial on the tallest one was broken off (photos taken of the item and packaging). My Husband has glued it back together and it's also currently held together with cable ties to ensure that the two parts don't separate before the glue has done it's job. Hopefully this minor problem will be solved. All in all, would certainly recommend this product.
Very pleased with the item
08 May 2018 by: kaygeeI was impressed with the quality of this item. A bit fiddly to put together although very simple in theory as screws are soldered in and you only need to add the nuts, but some of the screws were at a slight angle and so difficult to position - for one person, anyway. But good solid obelisks. Would have preferred the option of buying individual sizes. However - very annoyed with the delivery service. I was in my hall tidying up when I saw someone outside the front door, writing. A card dropped through the letterbox saying he had attempted to deliver but nobody home! I opened the door and asked why he had not rung the bell. He said he had rung the bell three times and knocked twice! I showed him the bell was in perfect working order and the only reaction I got was sheepish giggles. He admitted he hadn't bothered to ring/knock as it was 'quicker to drop in a card'. This has happened so many times, but this was the only occasion I have managed to catch them in the act. This kind of thing makes me furious. Even if I had not been in, I had left an instruction with the order to say the delivery should be left with a neighbour. But no - easier to drop in a card and get me to drive specially to the post office and queue up to collect. I won't name the delivery comany, but suggest Garden Gift Shop should find a better one.
Excellent value for money and look greT too.
28 April 2018 by: Linda RexI wasn’t expecting too much from the 3 obelisks as they weren’t expensive at all, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of them. They are now sitting proudly in my borders with Clematis happily growing on them.

3 Obelisks
26 April 2017 by: PipAm very pleased with these. They arrived within 48 hours of ordering. They were easily assembled, look great and are very sturdy. Am glad I found them!
Sturdy support
16 April 2017 by: LouiseVery pleased with these supports. Easy to put together and much more sturdy than expected. Appearance and colour is as pictured. Look great and just as good as other supports several times the price of these. The top has a nice ornamental detail but doesn't detract from the plant. Would definitely purchase again. Purchse and delivery process was great too.
