Take A Seat

Garden seats are far more than just resting places, they can also be visual features that make a statement and complete a garden scene in the same way that a fountain or statue does. If you’re buying a seat purely for comfort, it’s simply a matter of trying out a few different styles and seeing what feels best. However, if you stand back and observe the seat from a distance you may find that it will detract from the aesthetics rather than complement the garden. It is necessary to choose seating that fits the overall garden theme. For example, a seat made out of Red Gum logs would look far better in a bush garden than in a formal garden. Positioning your garden seats can also pose problems. Here are some suggestions as to where you may choose to place your seat:

• Where you sit and talk to neighbours over the fence
• Beside a pool or spa
• Beside the barbeque
• In outside eating and entertainment areas
• Where you can observe the children playing
• Beside the workshop or tool shed
• In the veggie garden or other work area
• Under a shady tree
• Beneath a pergola or arbor
• Beside a creek or water feature
