DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT
Detailed reference will now be made to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in FIGS. 1-3.
An invention 10 is comprised of two front posts 15 having an ornate ball 16 or a solar-powered light 18 atop of each post. Attached near the top of each of the front post 15 is a plant hanger 19 that extends outward from the invention 10. The invention 10 also involves a plurality of rear posts or a single rear post 17, and wherein said rear post may have a solar-powered light 18 atop said rear post 17. Attached to the front posts 15 and the rear post 17 is a plurality of sheets of lattice 20. The lattice 20 is connected to rear post 17 by a fastening means comprising nails, screws, bolts, welding, or glue. The left and right sides of the lattice 20 are connected to the respective front post 15 by a support piece 22. The support piece 22 connects to the lattice 20 and front post 15 by a fastener comprising nails, bolts, wood screws, welding, or glue. A top support piece 23 runs the length of the top side of the lattice 20, and attaches to the front posts 15 and rear post 17. The top support piece 23 connects to the lattice 20, front posts 15, and rear posts 17, by a fastener comprising nails, bolts, wood screws, welding, or glue.
The lattice 20, front posts 15, and rear posts 17 are made of materials comprising wood, plastic, or metal. The invention 10 is constructed with a curvature that ranges from zero degrees to 180 degrees.

## Claims

1. A landscaper trellis with integrated plant hangers and solar-powered light comprising:
