I like this entry on seating, and also believe it to be very important in the garden. I fear I may be more of a sitter than a weeder :<) , and I love watching my flowers grow from a comfortable bench or chair. I've found I can't put anything under a tree or on a bird's flight path because I end up having to clean it before sitting. :<) I’ve just found your blog, and am so enjoying reading it.

I believe park & garden furniture are an overlooked aspect of such places! An article (post) on the design & history of clay (earthenware) pots & planters might be of equal interest! <em>Hi Doug, Actually, I have been thinking quite a lot about clay pots.

Hi Doug,

Actually, I have been thinking quite a lot about clay pots. And I’m with you about the hardscaping. It’s what sets a good garden apart from a great one.

About this whole seating thing... when you put in more seating, did you find yourself actually using it more? I have a bench in the backyard, but whenever I sit down to rest, invariably something beckons me off of my hinder to get a closer look, and I end up putting even more... :) <em>Hi Kim, Actually, I've been better about sitting down than I used to be. The little dogs need some attention, so I sit then. I also just need to catch my breath from time to time and drink some iced green tea. Still, you're right. I could do with more sitting...and less self criticizing too. Robin at Bumblebee</em> Robin, I hadn’t seen the new look before–I LOVE it!

Hi Kim,

Actually, I’ve been better about sitting down than I used to be. The little dogs need some attention, so I sit then. I also just need to catch my breath from time to time and drink some iced green tea. Still, you’re right. I could do with more sitting…and less self criticizing too.

I recognize that bench and arbor from the Chicago Botanic Gardens. I need to make another trip there this summer! <em>Hi Kylee, I spent quite a lot of time on this bench!

Hi Kylee,

I spent quite a lot of time on this bench! I was exhausted and really had to restrain myself from stretching out and taking a nap!

I think a bit of age also helps the bench to blend in with the surroundings. Hi Carol and Curtis - Thanks for the note. It's amazing how many garden photos I've collected. Besides a lot of bench photos, I seem to have a lot of weed photos. I wonder what that's about? Crafty Gardener - Yes, admire the work. I also have a tendency to shake my head and criticize it. Need to work on that. Donna - Thanks for visiting and dropping a note. You bring up a good point--photos of people in a garden. There was some back-and-forth about that among the garden bloggers a while back. We need more people in the garden photos. Kate - Garden rooms, yes! I want a courtyard. Sadly, it seems to have no place out here where I live. Hi Kacey - Glad you found me. It seems that everyone's grandmother had African violets!
