Ah, the charm and character Ivy gives to a home -- perhaps if you were in England. Ivy growing in the garden beds look lovely and does add something to the character of your home. But, Ivy also is very evasive and quickly overtakes everything around it -- including growing up the side of the home! Ivy, and other vines, can lead to damage to the brick, siding, windows -- exterior of the home, by causing rot and mold/mildew. At times, the vines can grow through the crevices of the window sills and begin growing INTO the house.
SO, if you choose to garden with Ivy, or other vines, please be cautious and tend to the growth often!
