The Bench Niche

April 26, 2012

Recipe for success!

This may sound simple, but often an view has to be created or space made in order to take advantage of focalization. I like a 4′ bench in most courtyard gardens since it is a diminutive size that can make an impact easily. Two people can just fit!  The garden pictured is one I designed in Charleston, SC on Murray Boulevard. The 4′ bench is used as a focal point with carefully scaled plantings, including boxwoods to anchor the setting.
