Step 5Add Plants
Now that your teepee frame is built, you can add plants. You want plants that are tall, good climbers, and fast growers. Plants with flowers or fruit are extra fun for the kids. We did squash, pumpkins, beans, sweat peas, corn, sun flowers and a tomato.
We dug a small hole at the bottom of the teepee, and made a mound adding dehydrated manure, (or use compost, or soil) We trasnplanted plants that were growing in other parts of the yard, but you could plant seeds or seedlings. You could even just put potted plants around the teepee. We tried adding a hanging plant to the top of the teepee, but it didn't look right.
Take good care of your plants, and lead them to grow up the teepee. You might need to tie some of them in place.
