Number six in a very occasional series of posts all about the seats I find in gardens. Use your imagination and have a sit in each and see what you think! I hope you enjoy the view from some – you will have to use your imagination!
A visit to the famous Herefordshire garden, The Laskett, created by the couple Sir Roy Strong and Doctor Julia Trevelyan Oman, provided many unusual garden seats for us to try out and to photograph.
At the Laskett even the toilet seat is quality!
We will now look at another C20 garden, the gardens at Preen Manor near Much Wenlock not far from Shrewsbury. This is a garden of many”rooms” and each room seems to have a different style of seat.
On a visit to a Yellow Book NGS garden a good mixture of seats can be found, such as these four at Upper Shelderton Hall gardens.
Another Yellow Book Garden, Dovecote Barn in Herefordshire revealed these two seats, one well placed for a secret rest hiding in the polytunnel and the other a little precarious with a bit of a backward slope to it.
So there is my sixth selection of garden seats – I can now look forward to trying out lots more in my search for the seventh selection!

Love this series. It is like the ‘doors’ that I participate in. Garden seats and benches always attract me because of design and color. For actual sitting, I gravitate to one with a back since that is the part of the body that impacts me the most. But, for impact, I love the white metal one with the swirls on the back. 🙂
Garden seating is so important for comfort and for viewing. I just love that vignette of the Wisteria above the seating. It looks so romantic with all those flowers beside the seating.
