Backyard lounge. Hoxsie and her team constructed a cedar pergola measuring about 20 feet wide and 7 feet deep to frame and shade the new seating area. They planted vines of ‘Amethyst Falls’ American wisteria (Wisteria frutescens ‘Amethyst Falls’, USDA zones 5 to 9; find your zone) to ramble up the front posts of the pergola and eventually shade the seating area. Edible ‘Concord’ grapes (Vitis labrusca ‘Concord’, zones 5 to 8) cover the cedar trellises on either side of the pergola. The trellis panel behind the seating area (the one with no vines growing on it) can be removed to access the base of the silo, if necessary.Chairs and sofa: Frontgate; wooden coffee table: Custom-made from a shed door by Lynch Construction
