ARBOUR, in gardening, a kind of shady bower, formerly in great esteem; but of late rejected on account of its being damp and unwholesome.
Arbours are generally made of lattice-work, either of wood or iron; and covered with elms, limes, horn-beams; or with creepers, as honeysuckles, jasmines, or passion-flowers; either of which will answer the purpose very well, if rightly managed.
