De-stress Your Day On A Garden Bench

• "A Bench in a Bed
  
  No room at all? Add a small, decorative seat within a bed. This small-scale bench seems to be almost growing among the plants that surround it. The gentle curve of the seat helps the bench blend in smoothly with its natural surroundings".
  
  

• "Touch of Whimsy
  
  Another approach to masonry is the cast concrete bench. This bench has the added attraction of a touch of humor. The twin bears bearing the top are welcome guests in this shady garden spot".
  
  

• "Bench with a View
  To make a garden bench worthwhile, all you really need is some open space and a view. But that's not where your bench-planning should stop. Read on to discover all the ways benches can add immeasurably to the pleasure you get from your home landscape".
  
  

• "How Dry I Am
  After a view, a bench benefits most from a dry setting, especially if you want to be able to enjoy the bench year round -- which you should! Use an existing deck or patio, create a well-tamped gravel bed, or use paving stones to provide a dry and stable setting for your bench".
  
  

• "Pretty Little Pillows
  
• 
  Thanks to an amazing new array of all-weather fabrics, outdoor seating can be just as comfortable and stylish as the indoor variety. Check out the cushions available at patio stores and garden centers, then use them to soften a bench. While you're at it, look for outdoor accessories like lights and heaters that can extend your hours of bench-warming enjoyment".
  
  

• "Adding Some Color
  
  Besides comforting your back (and bottom), a bench can please the eye. Add color to an otherwise all-green setting with a bright-hued garden bench. You'll especially like the effect in winter".
  
  

• "A Water View
  
  A bench is a must-have accessory for any water feature. You'll enjoy a pond, fountain, or pool much more often if you put a comfortable resting spot nearby".
