    Hi Danielle, that garden bench came out great 👍👍, it fits and looks perfect right there! One winter I made three obelisks out of thick branches I cut from trees in my yard, then I took the bare branches of my forsythia bush and some bittersweet branches and wove them all around the bottom middle and top of the branches for some interest making what look like three grapevine wreaths. They came out great and look right at home in my cottage garden. I also made an arched trellis out of branches in my yard with a grid pattern. I used wire to secure all these pieces together. It was fun to do and best part was it was all free!! 🎉😍

    Danielle, I took an old tree stump that was cut from a tree, which had a cavity in the middle of it, and one on the side. I placed it in my vegetable garden, just for an accent piece, and planted it with a succulent on the side opening, and an artemisia on the top. The artemisia gracefully cascades down the sides of the tree stump. It's a nice, natural accent for the garden which didn't cost me anything, except for the plants. The silvery-white color of the artemisia plant contrasts perfectly with the dark color of the tree stump.

    Good morning! Danielle, that is a beautiful bench, and it is perfectly placed.❤...
    Many years ago, while we were on vacation, my husband picked up a large stick. He used it as a walking stick for the week. He then brought it home with us and put it in the ground in our garden. It has been there ever since... the birds love it!! They use it to sit on and scan the garden before coming in to feed. And this year we have a Hollyhock using it as a support.

    Such a perfect addition to Grace’s garden, I love it! It is really fulfilling to create something out of things you already have! My faux porch in the main garden was built out of lumber and things used here on the farm. It’s very special to me! The kitty sleeping on the bench is perfect 🤩

    Just lovely - your woodland aesthetic is just my taste! Your garden is inspiring. I turned a ground stump into a zinnia garden and bordered it with rocks I had on hand - the organic matter from the grounded stump is fed the seeds and my zinnias and cosmos are going crazy this summer.

    Looks so good. ❤ I made an arch with some whipped thin trees. Just burying the ends either side of the path and join the top ends with wire. Last Christmas I made a twig star to sit at the apex. Everyone always comments about it. Looks amazing

    Lovely!!
    I did a backyard revamp that my landscapes did bring in gravel for and soil to help with re-grading for proper drainage, but we found enough rocks and flagstones existing on the property (rocks are everywhere since it’s Pennsylvania, the flagstones I think were from an abandoned project from a former owner of the home) to make a step stone path through the middle and rock borders for some shade beds and it’s now a beautiful relaxing tidy oasis instead of a small muddy weedy buggy half dead lawn.

    Love this, and love working with what I have on hand :) We did a similar bench not too long ago, but used stones (because we had some on our rocky property). I reaaaally like the look of the logs, though, and especially with the added benefit of providing more pollinator hidey holes :)
