If I had been blindfolded and placed on a garden bench in summers long past I could tell you which Grandmother I was visiting – just by the nature of the garden bench.

My Mother’s Mother would have nothing in the yard to sit on that was not made of wood. This may have been because my Mother’s Father was an expert woodworker and wood carver.

Perhaps she would have selected the Lutyens Eucalyptus English Garden Bench – which even comes in your choice of three colors.

Practical and simple style that would have coordinated perfectly with everything else in her garden.

On the other hand, my Father’s Mother would have preferred this Grape Vine Vintage-Style Garden Bench.

She wouldn’t have cared that it was powder-coated aluminum. Every piece of outdoor seating in her yard was ornate and mostly, wrought iron. Not as practical or simple as the bench above, but in tune with the more formal design of this grandmother’s yard and garden.

In an effort at full disclosure I should probably tell you that one of my sisters, who was about 3 years old at the time, did manage to get her arm firmly caught in the scroll work of one of my grandmother’s wrought iron chairs. While my father thought this was a good, if temporary way to keep track of one of six children, my mother eventually freed my sister from the chair.
