Hallson Gardens

Hi! I just wanted to post a picture of the newest addition to my gardens.

This bench was a wedding gift from 3 dear friends. They know I love to garden and that since moving into David's place have a whole new place to garden in. They got it a couple months ago but we just got around to picking it up today.

The bench is concrete and can stay out all seasons. The curved seat sits atop the legs, 3 separate pieces.

This location is a bed I helped David put in a couple years ago, but has been VERY frustrating because it's under a red maple and there are poplars nearby. The ground is incredibly dry and the roots of the maple and poplars are VERY invasive. I have an engraved stone in this bed that says "CAUTION - Cranky Gardener", because this bed makes me cranky. But it's in a pretty part of the yard and has a nice view. So I figured if plants won't grow then it would be a good spot for the bench. The bench won't mind the dry ground or invasive roots!

I had some extra flagstone from previous projects, so I put them in two little paths to the bench.

How lovely!!!!

Very nice Jane and I am glad you got your shed. I have one of those concrete benches just like that. They are virtually indestructible. I have purchased others since then that are made of wood and they are rotting already. Your garden is progressing nicely.

Love the bench and garden, Jane! The tree doesn't that large yet, could you maybe do a bit of raised bed around the egdes? Like a small berm type that you could then plant in? Just a thought. With a soaker you could water it have the plants you want, but not smother the roots around the tree.

Just a thought. It IS a very pretty view!

Wow that is really nice and a beautiful place to sit, too!

Beautiful Jane!!!
