Everything for the Gardener and their Garden

Every garden needs a bench

Every garden needs a bench so you can make time to sit down and enjoy your hardwork.
I read this week of someone going to their allotment with a flask of pumpkin soup (Allotment grown pumpkin) and sitting on their bench admiring their years work whilst enjoying the fruits of their labour. A wonderful ideal that many of us aspire to.
Your garden is another room for you to use – albeit only when it’s not raining, but make the most of the outdoor space by sitting outside and admiring the ever changing patterns of leaves and colour.

Spanish oak refectory table and two benches
 £499.99
The simple, clean lines and elegant proportions of this refectory set, makes it very easy to place in a variety of settings around the home and garden. It is made from FSC roble, aka Spanish oak (Amburana cearensis), which is a fine-grained hardwood, that shares many of the finer qualities of teak. It will age to an attractive silver if left untreated, but unlike teak, will resist splitting and cracking over time. It has a deliciously soft texture that makes it incredibly tactile, especially as every piece has been finished to a very high standard by a team of local craftsmen. The timber used is farmed in natural forests, in such a way that the biological diversity of the area is maintained and the local community is supported. This is a beautiful set, containing one table and two benches, that is as enduring as it is practical. This set comes as an easy to assemble flat pack with all the tools you need to put it together.

The under surface storage area, three sturdy shelves, hanging pegs and rail, all mean that you will be able to keep your essential bits and pieces close to hand. This potting bench has an oiled finish, so you can either leave it to weather naturally and it will turn a soft silvery colour, or maintain the finish by using a hardwood furniture oil periodically.
