You can it just wouldn't be very wise. Depending on what you septic is made of and how strong whatever it's made of is, you can plant one near it. If it is made of a softer metal or concrete DONT!!!!! If it's made of a strong, non-porus metal you can because then the roots can't take hold.

Can you plant a garden near septic system?

Provided that you don't have a leaky septic tank or flush uranium down your toilet, I should imagine a fruit tree would do quite well in that expanse of soil. In the event of either of those two situations, a fruit tree would be the least of your worries. While it will grow well and flourish above or near your septic tank, it would be a mistake to plant any large shrub or tree within 30 feet or maximum root length from your septic tank. One of the primary causes of blockages and back-ups is root encroachment. It might take a few years for the problems to develop, but they will.

Is it okay to plant Clematis near a tree so that it grows up the tree ie as if it were a trellis?

No. Do not let anything grow on you tree as if it were a trellis. The viney plant will eventually block the sun from the tree and it will die. The above answer is correct. Don't plant anything at the base of a tree that will climb the tree. Although Clematis is not as bad as ivy, you do not want to do anything to endanger the tree by taking water, or sunlight away from it.
