Benches in Bloom

Beckon the call of alfresco lounging with one of these ornate garden benches.
While you devise your plans for landscaping the backyard, don’t neglect an important part of the garden—a place to rest. Among the purple iris, yellow tulips and pink Gerbera daisies, pop a little added color with these red and marine-blue, high gloss teak wood benches ($1,200/each). Feel good as you relax in your garden knowing the benches are also for indoor use—ideal for the end of summer when the bench can be used in an enclosed porch, mudroom or entryway.
