Not sure about keeping the doctor away, but it sure adds to this highly-scented time of year! Beautiful color to welcome approaching Summer…

This is the patent-pending lounge swing that suspends an oversized, free-floating 40″ wide recliner from the top of its frame, cradling your body in mid-air like a hammock, and letting you sway gently back and forth with a smooth, pendular motion.

Pendulum Lounger

Supporting up to 600 lbs., the recliner’s design keeps your legs elevated so your body rests in the ideal recumbent position. The recliner’s seat, removable 4′ x 4′ canopy, and 26″ wide pillow are woven from a waterproof, stain-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester that won’t mold or mildew and have UV protection to resist fading. Assembly required. 85″ H x 63″ W x 78″ L. (210 lbs.)

The Pendulum Lounger

This potting bench is perfect for those with limited space in their backyard garden. Nothing more annoying when you have gardening tasks to complete and accessories in five separate locations!

Keep everything you need for starting seeds and repotting plants, right at your fingertips. This potting bench features hooks for scissors and hand tools, and a roomy bottom shelf for storing soil and pots. The planting area has a slatted top so extra soil collects in a plastic slide-out bin below. At just 37″ wide, the bench can be located almost anywhere to give you a convenient work area.

Classic Potting Bench

If you aren’t being terrorized by moles or voles in your garden, Hostas can be a low-maintenance way to add color to a shady (or sunny) spot. They really can be a “plant and walk away” method of dealing with areas that are just not bright enough for most Summer-blooming flowers.

Below is a prime example:

Stained Glass Hosta

This plant was actually moved to this location end of last season. It doesn’t appear to have suffered for it.

So, don’t think of Hostas as just “green” – make sure to research all varieties to find the Hosta perfect for your color-troubled garden zones. Get some additional ideas for garden color from the Rose Cottage Ltd web site…
