arbours

Vine-covered garden shelters

Arbours is the British spelling of arbors—garden structures typically made of latticework covered with climbing plants or vines, creating shaded sitting areas or walkways: The wisteria-covered arbours provided welcome shade in the garden.

The word can also refer to the plants themselves when trained over such frames.
