Have a Seat

Seating does more than provide a place to sit.

Chairs and benches are an easy way to

punch up the personality and 

encourage friendship in your garden. 

Remember when houses had front porches and

neighbors visited naturally?

Recapture that friendly feeling by

adding seating in your front yard.

This bench may look like it's 

tucked into a private corner - 

it's actually just off the front corner of a house,

providing a pleasant point of interest 

and a place to meet.  

"Come into my garden,
Relax in a chair;
Don't let your heart harden,
Let wind touch your hair."
-Come Sit in My Garden

A myriad of
shapes, sizes and
styles make for
abundant possibilities.

 

Sometimes seating isn't the point -

in this case, looks are everything.

 

A stylish bench adds

a sense of place and

a welcoming touch at an entrance.

"Life is a child playing around your feet,

a tool you hold firmly in your grip,
a bench you sit down upon in the evening,

in your garden."

- Jean Anouilh
