So back again with another selection of garden seats discovered on our visits and wanderings around gardens of all sizes. Every garden however small needs one seat, but every garden deserves as many seats as the design allows. Gardens are to be enjoyed, by the gardeners themselves first and foremost but also by guests and visitors.
At the end of April we visited two spring gardens, The Weir near Hereford, a National Trust property, and a garden open for the Hardy Plant Society 60th Birthday celebrations.
The Weir Garden is an unusual design as it runs in a valley alongside a river, with its paths following the valley side. There are so many points of interest and viewpoints but only a few seats to invite the visitor to sit and take it all in.
Conversely our second garden in Stafford was a medium-sized town garden but had seats to help appreciate the beauty of the plants and design features.
More seats to come in “Are you sitting comfortably – Part 13”. We will be on the look out as we visit gardens for more fine examples of places to relax, sit down and enjoy the views.

One reply on “Are you sitting comfortably? Part 12 of a very occasional series.”
These are all beautiful seats. I love the white one with the spirals and the plant. I would love to sit a spell with a plant as a companion. But that first bench also calls to me because of the water view. Ah, you have so many nice choices. 🙂
