My Favourite Garden Benches of 2015

Some of you may be aware I have a photography blog called Sign of the Times, where I regularly publish photos of benches I've found on my travels.

Here's a selection of 17 my favourite garden-related finds for 2015; some of them have their debut here on the internet for the first time.

 


The slideshow has lots of extra information and links to websites where the benches reside. Here's a collage of 16 of the 17 benches if you'd prefer a quick look instead. Click on the picture to enlarge if needed.

  1. What lovely photos, they look brilliant all together like that. And what wonderful places to sit and enjoy a garden.

    1. Thanks Matt - I must write more about Toronto. I didn't think to ask about your favourites - I must add that...

    1. It's amazing how much variety in what's an oft-overlooked item, Flighty. That's how I've managed to keep Friday Bench going for so long :)

  4. A great variety of benches! I am an old-fashioned sort of person, so the plain wooden bench with the pink flowers is the one for me.
    Have a great week-end!

    1. Thank you Lea - that's a bench in my garden. It used to be in the porch at my parents-in-law, so I always think of them when I or we sit on it. It's a favourite spot for our afternoon refreshments when the weather allows :)
      NB it's also the bench with the mustard flowers growing through it!

  5. I was asking myself which was my favourite all the way through, I think if you forced me to answer it would have to be the non-bench chairs on the veranda of the Toronto Island garden. Love the colour, the matching cushions, the romance of the deck outside a wood-clad house, it all made me long to be sat there with a mug of tea admiring whatever the view was. But a lot of very good seating choices there.

  6. Janet, I couldn't resist including them even though they're not a bench. They look so cosy and inviting don't they? I'm reminded of 'What Katy Did Next' when she visits her friend Rose, who pulls up 2 chairs labelled 'Chit' and 'Chat' - I think we'd have a good natter there, don't you?
