Pond Garden Bench

A comfortable wooden garden bench sits at the beginning of my new pond-side path. I can sit here and gaze at my lovely Pond Garden, then turn my head to the ram paddock behind me and make furtive garden expansion plans...

The Pond Paddock beyond the pond gives inspiring views all year round. Winter shows off the sculptural flaxes, spring has the fluff of flowering cherries and rhododendrons, summer brings warmth and roses, and autumn is full of brilliant leaf colour. Sitting on the garden bench I will be able to see all these features reflected in the pond water. Very artistic!

The garden bench is a very normal kitset wooden one - maybe even a bit boring. But remember - it's not what the bench looks like from the garden - it's what the garden looks like from the bench!
