That of a gentleman, taking out his handkerchief. He puts it atop of the turf bench for his lady companion. This turf bench will bring many delightful moments and little surprises.

Read this earlier and went and checked out “Landsberg, Sylvia. Medieval Gardens. London: Thames & Hudson, 1996.” Excellent! With summer here, we could all be enjoying our green spaces more. We actually just did a “deck” makeover with a stainless steel top kitchen cart, a stainless steel grill and a cast iron garden bench. Now I need to ” make” the time to sit and enjoy!

It just goes to show that people have been building, designing and using backyard gardens as a place to relax for a very l long time. These days with all of the modern accessories one can easily purchase at the local home improvement store it just makes it a whole lot easier to landscape and improve the ambiance of even a small outdoor space.

A bench like this could easily work in my tiny garden. I live on the prairies so we don't get that much rain to make it impractical to sit on. Thank you so much for this post. I grow mostly indoors because of our short growing season. What a fascinating idea! A bench like this could easily work in my tiny garden.

Seems like people could end up with a pretty soggy bottom! But, they are beautiful design features in a garden, ideal frames for plant groupings and interesting stonework.

I looked up from Amazon, and indeed readers gave good comments about the books, especially the 1st book you recommended - "Landsberg, Sylvia. Medieval Gardens. London: Thames & Hudson, 1996." I am going to check out the book this weekend in my nearby bookstore. By the way, would love to know how the turf bench design turn out, do keep us posted :) Spring is here, the benches should add more green feeling to the garden.

Your title intrigued me because I'm an art history major and, of course, I absorb art like a sponge. The premise of your blog is a wonderful idea. Most people when they think of the Middle Ages think of the plague, sorcery, alchemy, The Inquisition and other dreary subjects but that time period is also full of delightful things such as the illuminated manuscripts, garden images and colorfully dressed people. Wow. Too cool. Please come visit me at my blog. I'm reviewing art history in a little snippet each day as I think many people are interested but don't know where to start. I talk about whatever suits my fancy for the day with a great end result for me-reviewing for completion of my major (I'm a senior). Hi there!
