arbour
Vine-covered garden seat
An arbour is a shaded garden structure, typically formed by trees, climbing plants, or latticework creating a sheltered alcove or passageway: We sat in the arbour, covered by climbing roses.
The word is the British spelling; Americans write arbor.
An arbour provides a retreat within a garden—a place to sit, walk through, or escape the sun.
