I think you're on the right track. She needs support from the top. The problem with using weights is that they only hold one end. The wind pushes the top of the plant and makes it one big lever. Somehow, some way, those plants need to attach to the screen wall behind them, from the top or at least the middle. That will keep the wind from prying the whole plant like a lever. It doesn't even have to be that strong, if it is attached at the right place.
