Building a Tunnel Trellis for Gourds

Take your garden to the next level by building a sturdy, arched tunnel trellis to support gourds, squash, and pumpkins while adding a beautiful feature to your space. This intermediate workshop is ideal for gardeners or DIY enthusiasts with basic experience using power tools. Participants will learn about design, materials, plant growth needs, and safe tool use—while getting hands-on experience constructing a durable trellis that will last for seasons to come. They'll leave with the confidence and skills to build their own, maximizing their garden’s potential.
