Every garden needs a bench. It is a place to go, sit down and rest after a hard day of pulling weeds or raking. It is a place to sit and reflect in the garden. It is a place to sit and enjoy the sounds and sights of nature. It can be that beautiful focal point, tucked away in the corner of the garden, and it can be that special place to spend time with family or friends. Yes, every garden needs a bench.
Garden benches come in all sizes, shapes, styles and colors. They can be made of wood, stone, metal, plastic or cement. There is a style for every garden, both large and small.
